myhex = Hex(num) datatype error here
Cells(i, "U") = myhex

Alain,

I was looking at your code /data & wondering if you want to convert to Hex
or Decimal.
Your data is already in Hex, so i thought maybe you want to convert to
decimal.
The following macro seems to work.

===================
Dim num As String
Dim myhex As Long

num = Cells(5, "T").Value
myhex = CDec("&H" & num)
Cells(5, "U") = myhex
=======================

regards,

Thanks John
I just look again at my data and some of it are in Hex so I will
need to make a validator program of some sort.....
what I really need to do is to convert into an Hex and still no luck

Thanks

Alain,

Your original program works perfectly for me (converting decimal to
Hexadecimal), no problems??!!

i.e. given valid data.

Perhaps you can use "On Error GoTo" to trap invalid data.
