Syntax:
OCT2DEC(Number)
Description:
Converts the given octal number (base 8) to a decimal number (base 10).
Number is the number to be converted.
Negative numbers have to be transformed to two's complement notation (see last example).
The permissible value range for Number is (in octal notation)
20000000000 ≤ Number ≤ 17777777777
This corresponds in decimal notation:
-2,147,483,648 ≤ Number ≤ 2,147,483,647
Example:
OCT2DEC("52") returns 42
OCT2DEC("0052") returns 42 as well
OCT2DEC("37777777726") returns -42
