Hi Keivn,
A possible way:

Private Function HexToDec#(BinVal$)
Dim i%, Lg%
Lg = Len(BinVal)
For i = Lg To 1 Step -1
HexToDec = HexToDec + (Nb(Mid(BinVal, i, 1)) * (16 ^ (Lg - i)))
Next i
End Function

Private Function Nb%(i$)
Const Chain$ = "0123456789ABCDEF"
Nb = Val(InStr(1, Chain, i, 1) - 1)
End Function

Sub Test()
ActiveCell = HexToDec(ActiveCell)
End Sub

I need a macro that will convert a hex number to decimal.

I've tried
activecell= cdec(activecell)
with no luck...

I want to do it without having a formula in the cell do it.
