The number argument is any valid expression.

If number is not already a whole number, it is rounded to the nearest whole number before being evaluated.

You can represent octal numbers directly by preceding numbers in the proper range with &O. For example, &O10 is the octal notation for decimal 8.

The following example uses the Oct function to return the octal value of a number:

 	Copy Code
Dim MyOct MyOct = Oct(4) ' Returns 4. MyOct = Oct(8) ' Returns 10. MyOct = Oct(459) ' Returns 713.
