Just skip the first formula is papercut is already hex

 

the first cells is dec the second cell converts that to hex judging from the formula (im assumign by the name)

That's what I did but the converted numbers didn't match unfortunately. They aren't scrambled, as in the order is different - it's entirely different characters. 

 

Not sure, but the site guy wants people to go see him to sort them now anyway, so no longer needed. 

 

Thanks for everyone's help!

Having a similar issue, has anyone been able to figure this?

Its not quite as straightforward as reversing the numbers. 

 

One curve ball is where the *decimal* presentation is reversed.  scenarios I have encountered are for example:

1234567891 = 49 96 02 d2,  but recorded as d2 02 96 49, which might be presented as 3523384905  (or 5094833253 if one of the programmers were insane).

But

1987654321 =  76 79 32 b1,  but recorded as b1 32 79 76  would be 2972875126 (or 6215782792 if both programmers were insane)


It can get way more challenging. This page seems to be the best I've found for getting to the bottom which way round things are recorded. Note it doesn't consider the "what if they read/recorded the decimal value reversed". Probably because  it's is somewhat insane to treat the values as a strings.
 

... and then even worse,  some systems cut off bits (or even digits) before recording the number. If this happens on the original system, but not on the secondary you cannot take the data from that first system and use it in the second system, unless the second system can also be configured to throw away those same bits before using the number.

Can you give us some examples of before/after codes so we can maybe work them out?
