Hex, Hex$

Returns a string that represents the hexadecimal value of a decimal argument.

Arguments

Hex[$]( number )

Notes

Hex returns a Variant; Hex$ returns a String. The argument number can be any numeric expression. It is rounded to the nearest whole number before being evaluated. An error occurs if number is a null.

If the argument is an Integer or a Variant of VarType 2 (Interger), up to four hexadecimal characters are returned; if the argument is a Long, or a Variant of VarType 3 (Long), up to eight hexadecimal characters are returned. You can represent hexadecimal numbers directly by preceding numbers in the proper range with &H. For example, &H10 is the decimal 16 in hexadecimal notation.

Example

This example returns the hexadecimal representation of the numeric variable Num.

H = Hex(Num)
