Can I just say that this is for certain the best solution I have seen to accomplish this. Did not know that you could do that.

I don't have Apache OpenOffice so I can't test it, but I tested it with LibreOffice and I think it would work in Apache OpenOffice too: =VALUE(BASE(42;2)) Now format the cell like the following: Right click the cell → click Format cells… Select the Number tab.

(BASE(42;2;8) -> 00101010) You do mean the binary equivalent of 42 but split into two groups - not the separate binary equivalents of the digits 4 and 2 - right? Try: =LEFT(BASE(A1;2;8);4)&" "&RIGHT(BASE(A1;2;8);4) I trust this helps.

Re: Showing number as binary
I wrote a macro to convert to / from binary. You cannot specify the base or the number of digits. I don't remember if it is published in OOME or AndrewMacro, but but are on my web site for download.

Showing number as binary
Hi all :-) Is there a way to show a number as binary with a separation? E.g. 42 as 0010 1010. (BASE(42;2;8) -> 00101010) Thanks and have a nice day Andrea - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
