Function name:

BITOR

Category:

Mathematical

Summary:

Performs a bitwise OR binary operation on two non-negative integer values.

Syntax:

BITOR(Number1; Number2)

Returns:

Returns an integer in the range [0, 2⁴⁸-1], which is the result of the bitwise OR operation on the two supplied numbers.

Arguments:

Number1 is an integer in the range [0, 2⁴⁸-1], or a reference to a cell containing that number, that is the first value for the bitwise OR operation.

Number2 is an integer in the range [0, 2⁴⁸-1], or a reference to a cell containing that number, that is the second value for the bitwise OR operation.

If either Number1 or Number2 is non-numeric, then BITOR reports a #VALUE! error.
If either Number1 or Number2 is a non-integer value, then BITOR truncates that value to an integer.
If either Number1 or Number2 is less than 0 or greater than 2⁴⁸-1, then BITOR reports an invalid argument error (Err:502).

Additional details:

More information is available on Wikipedia’s Bitwise operation page.
2⁴⁸ is equal to 281474976710656.

Examples:

Formula	Description	Returns
=BITOR(6; 10)	6 is binary 0110 and 10 is binary 1010. The function evaluates `0110 OR 1010` and returns decimal 14 (binary 1110).	14
=BITOR(D1; D2) where cells D1 and D2 contain the numbers 123 and 156 respectively.	123 is binary 01111011 and 156 is binary 10011100. The function evaluates `01111011 OR 10011100` and returns decimal 255 (binary 11111111).	255
=BITOR(6.123; 10.9)	The floor values of the two arguments are taken, giving 6 (binary 0110) and 10 (binary 1010). The function evaluates `0110 OR 1010` and returns decimal 14 (binary 1110).	14
