xlvba long to binary code example

Example: excel vba binary from long integer value

Function LongToBits$(ByVal n&)
    Dim i&
    LongToBits = "00000000000000000000000000000000"
    If n And &H80000000 Then
        Mid$(LongToBits, 1, 1) = "1"
        n = n And Not &H80000000
    End If
    For i = 32 To 2 Step -1
        If n And 1 Then Mid$(LongToBits, i, 1) = "1"
        n = n \ 2
    Next
End Function
