You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Welcome to the board..

to add 2 binary numbers together, I think you would have to
use bin2dec on each binary number seperately.
Then use dec2bin on those results...

Like
A1 = 1011
B1 = 1011
C1: =DEC2BIN(BIN2DEC(A1)+BIN2DEC(B1)) = 10110
