When using BITXOR, the most common issues fall into 3 categories: parameter errors, unexpected results, and filling formulas across multiple cells.
FAQ
What should I do if BITXOR shows a #VALUE! error?
- Check whether the parameter data types are correct and make sure the numeric inputs do not contain text or extra spaces.
- If needed, clean the original data first and then enter the formula again.
- Confirm that the parameter separator is an English comma, then press Enter to finish the formula.
Why does the BITXOR result not match what I expected?
- Confirm that the referenced cells and parameter positions are correct.
- Check whether the related cells are formatted as numbers instead of text.
- Use formula evaluation tools on the Formula tab to review the calculation step by step.
How can I use BITXOR in multiple cells at once?
- Enter and confirm the BITXOR formula in the first target cell.
- Move the pointer to the fill handle at the lower-right corner of the cell and drag it down or sideways.
- You can also copy the formula and paste it into the target range, then adjust relative or absolute references if needed.
