How to use the BITXOR function
The BITXOR function calculates a decimal number that is a result of a bitwise comparison "XOR" of two numbers.
XOR is an abbreviation for "Exclusive OR" meaning if both digits at each position are not equal, 1 is returned for that position. If it is equal 0 (zero) is returned.
Formula in cell D3:
5 is 00000101 binary and 9 is 00001001. See picture below on how to do a bitwise "XOR".
Excel Function Syntax
BITXOR(number1, number2)
Arguments
| number1 | Required. A number greater than 0 (zero). |
| number2 | Required. A number greater than 0 (zero). |
Comments
The maximum number you can use is 2^48 = 2.81475E+14.
The BITXOR function returns:
- #NUM! error value if an argument is outside its boundary.
- #NUM! error value if an argument is greater than 2^48 = 2.81475E+14.
- #VALUE! error value if an argument is a non-numeric value.
