When using BITRSHIFT, the most common issues usually fall into 3 categories: parameter errors, unexpected results, and filling the formula across multiple cells; this section answers the top 3 questions.
FAQ
What should I do if BITRSHIFT returns #VALUE!?
- Check whether the parameter data types are correct and make sure numeric parameters do not contain text or extra spaces.
- If needed, clear the cell content and enter the function again.
- Confirm that you are using an English comma as the parameter separator.
Why does the BITRSHIFT result look different from what I expected?
- Confirm that the referenced cells or numeric values are correct.
- Check whether the related cells are formatted as numbers instead of text.
- If you need to review the calculation step by step, use formula evaluation tools on the Formulas tab.
How do I use the BITRSHIFT function in multiple cells?
- Enter and confirm the BITRSHIFT formula in the first cell.
- Select that cell, then drag the fill handle across the target range, or copy and paste the formula into other cells.
- Check whether relative and absolute references are set as expected, and use
$to lock references when needed.
