It's confusing to say "hex byte" because that's mixing presentation with
storage. A Byte is a Byte and can be presented as decimal, hexadecimal,
binary, etc...

So, by Hex Byte I assume you actually mean hex string.

The first is Byte to Ascii, the secon is HexString to Ascii.

Sub test()
Dim byt As Byte, str As String

byt = &H41 'A
Debug.Print Chr(byt)

str = "41"
Debug.Print Chr("&H" & str)
End Sub

How do I convert a hex byte into an ascii character? I'll take an
excel formula or VB code. Either way would be fine. I could not find
an excel function to do this. I appreciate any help submitted. Thank
you.
