Under the NUMBER option I should be able to choose which base I want to use:
HEX, OCT and BIN. Such cells should sort as numbers not text. "Neil" wrote: Many users are programmers or other IT professionals. |

If many "IT professionals" misuse Excel as a programming and/or system administration tool, that's their problem (and their companies' and their fellow employees'). Excel is *NOT* a tool for programmers. Excel is not a tool for system administration. To the extent it can read and write text files and is more capable than Notepad, it's too commonly misused. Excel is also commonly misused by people trying to use it for statistical analysis, engineering, genetic research, and a whole host of other fields outside financial analysis, it's intended use. Excel is *NOT* a general purpose calculation tool. If you want this functionality in a spreadsheet, there are several open source ones you could attempt to modify to suit your needs. Microsoft is unlikely to provide this functionality any time soon (i.e., before the end of your working life). |
