Default How do I use base 256 numbers?

"JonMartin" wrote in message
...
Excel knows how to use nubers in verious bases like Binary (Base 2) Octal
(Base 8) Hex (Base 16) and of cource decimal (base 10) so why not IP (base
256)

Why can't I just tell excel that the numbers are in base 256 format and
then
be able to sort, add, xor etc?


With hex we use 0 to 9 and A to E. What are you going to use for the extra
240 different characters?
