What this pulls

Convert radixes by the row. Converts values between bases down a column — Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Convert by the row

Fill =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "input_value") beside a column of input and get the converted value back for every row — a batch conversion done in one drag.

No parser, no export

Turn one format into another right in the cell instead of round-tripping through a script or an online tool.

Feed the next step

Pipe the converted value straight into the formula or chart that needs it.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "input_value")
Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "input_value")
Optional inputs

Tune the result by adding name=value before the field argument — in any order. Leave one out and its default applies.

  • from

    Source base (default: 10)

    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "from", "10")
  • to

    Target base (returns all common bases if not specified)

    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "to", "10")
Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

  • Input value
    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "input_value")
  • Input base
    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "input_base")
  • Output value
    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "output_value")
  • Decimal value
    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "decimal_value")
  • Input base name
    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "input_base_name")
  • Output base
    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "output_base")
  • Output base name
    =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "output_base_name")

Convert Number Bases, answered

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Convert Number Bases into Google Sheets?
Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in once with your key, and type =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "field", "input_value") into any cell. The "field" argument names the value you want back, so the cell resolves to a single number or string you can chart, sort, or feed into another formula.
What data can I pull from Convert Number Bases?
Convert Number Bases returns input_value, input_base, output_value, decimal_value and input_base_name, plus 2 more — name any one of them as the "field" argument and that value lands in the cell. Leave the field out and the whole record spills into a two-column table instead.
Can I narrow what Convert Number Bases returns?
Yes — Convert Number Bases takes "from" and "to" as optional inputs. They go in as "name", value pairs after the required ones, in any order, so =VERVE("numberbaseconverter", "255", "from", "10") shapes the result without changing anything else.
Can I fill a whole column of Convert Number Bases at once?
Yes. Put your value values down a column and point the formula at the range — A2:A50 instead of A2 — and one call returns a value for every row. Dragging the formula down works too, but the range form is a single billed call per column rather than one per cell.
How many credits does each Convert Number Bases cell cost?
Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. A cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a sheet you aren't touching doesn't keep charging.
Does Convert Number Bases work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?
Yes — same arguments, same key, same fields. Excel namespaces custom functions, so the call is =VERVE.CALL() there and =VERVE() in Google Sheets; nothing else about it changes.
