The OCT2DEC () is an engineering function which takes ‘number’ as argument and converts an octal number to a decimal number.
Formula:
=OCT2DEC(number) In the above syntax, the argument number denotes the octal number to be converted .The Number should not be more than 10 digits. The most significant bit is sign bit and the remaining 29 bits are magnitude bits. Negative numbers are represented using two's-complement notation.
