I'm looking for a spreadsheet macro (I'm using Quattro Pro - Special Edition)
that will read a four digit hex number (entered as a label) from a cell, parse
it, and enter numbers in the appropriate columns in that row according to the
state of each bit in the hex number. For example:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z AA BB
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
0362 2 4 6 8 9 11 14 15 17 20 22 24 25 28
One way to look at this "encoding" is to start from the right and let each odd
number represent a "1" and each even number represent a "0" and then divide the
even/odd pairs into groups of four (21/22, 23/24, 25/26, 27,28). So for the
above example, 22,24,25,28 would correspond to 0010, which can be represented
as a hex 2.
