Ron,

100% definitely not in my E2007 just the intro header I posted in my other
post then a description of the syntax for each of the formulae.

Excel 2007 (12.0.6514.5000) SP2 MSO (12.0.6425.1000)

I just checked E2003 and you are correct but there is no such explanation of
this limitation in E2007 help reproduced below

That's funny. With Excel 2007, when I look at HELP for BIN2DEC, I see:

Number is the binary number you want to convert. Number cannot contain more
than 10 characters (10 bits). The most significant bit of number is the sign
bit. The remaining 9 bits are magnitude bits. Negative numbers are represented
using two's-complement notation.

Seems pretty clear to me.
