How 2 use right shift "<<" and left shift ">>" operator in excel?

Hello v-2ajpau,

Excel doesn't have builtin left and right shift operators. You woul
need to construct a User Defined Funtion (UDF) in VBA . If you have
computer science background (I assume you do or you wouldn't post thi
question) you know what is involved in the binary math. I suspect i
you search the web you find someone who has written the routine
already.

Sincerely,

VBA doesn't have any bit shift operators. You can replicate bit
shifts by multiplying or dividing by the appropriate power of 2.

Function ShiftLeft(Num As Long, Places As Integer) As Long
ShiftLeft = Num * (2 ^ Places)
End Function

Function ShiftRight(Num As Long, Places As Integer) As Long
ShiftRight = Num \ (2 ^ Places)
End Function

Note that there is no error checking in these procedures.
