DEC2BIN

DEC2BIN(number [,places])

Returns the number converted from decimal to binary.

number	The decimal integer you want to convert.
places	(Optional) The number of characters to use.

REMARKS

* If any of the arguments are not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
* If "number" < -512, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "number" > 511, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "number" < 0, then "places" is ignored and a 10-character (10-bit) binary number in which the most significant bit is the sign bit is returned. The remaining 9 bits are magnitude bits.
* If "number" < 0, then two's-complement notation is used to represent the number.
* If "places" is less than the number of characters needed, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "places" is not an integer, it is truncated.
* If "places" < 0, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "places" is left blank, then the minimum number of characters necessary.
* The "places" is useful for padding the return value with leading 0s (zeros).
* You can use the DEC2HEX function to return a number converted from decimal to binary.
* You can use the DEC2OCT function to return a number converted from decimal to octal.
* You can use the BIN2DEC function to return a number converted from binary to decimal.
