    Alright let me fess up and admit that this is my own creation...

    And, it's free.

    It's also a fairly stable beta. Tonight, I am going to upload v1.00...

    OK What is it?

    Originally it started as a way to format an Excel cell in Engineering Notation. That is in even powers of 3. Kilo, Mega, milli, etc.

    It does that pretty good. Using Double Precision numbers.

    Then I discovered that Excel doesn't handle conversions to and from HEX, Octal, and Binary if the number is greater than 2^31...

    So, I added some routines to do that. Again, using double precision numbers.

    Lastly, I added a shift right and shift left function...

    I could really use some comments and beta testers to help find any remaining bugs.

    Also, I had stopped issuing a stand-alone workbook containing the macros/functions in favor of the add-in.

    But, it's been a real pain importing the 'Check Worksheet' because of the way Excel creates absolute links to the add-in functions...

    Arrrggggghhhhhh!

    So, (hopefully) sometime tonight (can't FTP from work) I will have both version available.

    Yes, it was in a form of English called 'Techno-Speak' :D

    Seriously, though, this is for Engineers, Scientists and other Technical Folks who want to format the output from their calculations.

    There are also a few Trigonometric functions. For those who want to solve Tri-angles by inputting a few known values.

    Thanks SMM,

    I have a lot of high-tech friends and knew enough that I knew I didn't have a clue. [​IMG] [​IMG]
