Default adding hexadecimal numbers

Hi,
As the subject states, how do I add together cells containing hex numbers. I
tried
the following...

A1 contains 0f
a2 contains 0f
a3 contains = a1 + a2
result #VALUE!

I know that it knows the cells could be hex because if I do =hex2dec(a1) in
another cell it converts it. Is there anyway in Excel to explicitly set the
number type of a cell?

Regards,
Dave.
