This might be more of a math question than Excel.


I have an application for which I would like to know the number of "1"s in
the binary representation of a number. For example 20 in binary is 10100,
which has 2 "1"s. I do not necessarily need the binary number itself.


Also, the DEC2BIN function does not work for numbers =512. Are there other
binary converters that do?


Thanks
