Description Mike Kaganski 2022-05-31 08:37:04 UTC
The two functions do the opposite, but there is no indication for that (it would be somewhat redundant if their names hinted the relation - like DEC2BIN vs BIN2DEC). In this case, the cross-links like "See also BASE", "See also DECIMAL" would help users.

See also: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-to-change-the-base-of-the-positional-numeral-system-calc/78164/ ; I myself needed some effort to find the BASE's counterpart.
