Excel BITRSHIFT function
Function BITRSHIFT
Description Excel BITRSHIFT function returns a number shifted right by some number of bits.
Syntax BITRSHIFT(number, shift_amount)
Number Required. Must be an integer, greater than or equal to zero.
Shift amount Required. Shift_amount must be an integer.
Example:
=BITRSHIFT(34,2) = 8
=BITRSHIFT(34,-2) = 136
Usage Notes:
- Shifting a number right is basically removing digits from right side of the binary form of the number.
- If either argument is outside their constraints, BITRSHIFT returns the #NUM! error value.
- BITRSHIFT returns the #NUM! error value if Number is greater than (2^48)-1.
- BITRSHIFT returns the #NUM! error value when the absolute value of Shift_amount is greater than 53.
- BITRSHIFT returns the #VALUE! error value when input is a non-numeric value.
- A negative number used as the Shift_amount argument shifts the number of bits to the right.
- A negative number used as the Shift_amount argument returns the same result as a positive shift_amount argument for the BITLSHIFT function.
