Cell Formating

[dlabs]

I wish to enter and show cells in HEX format.
peferably 0xA4, 0x07, 0x3C, etc.
Also I want to be able to auto fill cells when starting a string 1,2,3,...
In short replace DEC with HEX.

ANY IDEAS?
Thanks

With dec2hex function it is easy.

Either create your 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 etc in column A and use dec2hex in column B

OR...

Put dec2hex(row(A1)) in cell A1 and copy it down column A

Thanks but not quite what I need. I can't deal with that for an entire workbook, 36 pages so far.
I use Hex numbers everywhere on the sheets and need to switch the cell formatting like I would from Number to Currency.
I need a Format/Cells/Number/'Base'/'Hex'/'1 byte' function added to the Format Cells dialog box.

Any other ideas?

Hi
Its always better to use VBA to do the repetitive task
You can just write a subroutine (you can use Hex function of VBA to convert decimal to hex)
and Run it for the selected cells (any range)
