BITXOR Function in Excel returns the bitwise Exclusive OR, ‘XOR’ for two supplied integers.
Note: BITXOR Function was only introduced from Excel 2013 onwards
Bitwise XOR Explained
Let us find the bitwise XOR operation of two integers 12 and 25.
12 = 00001100 (In Binary)
25 = 00011001 (In Binary)
Bitwise XOR Operation of 12 and 25
00001100
| 00011001
________
00010101 = 21 (In decimal)
Syntax of BITXOR Function in Excel (BITWISE XOR OPERATION IN EXCEL):

FORMULA:
RESULT:
NOTE: #NUM! – Error occurs if
- One or both of the supplied number arguments is a non-integer;
- One or both of the supplied number arguments is negative or is greater than (2^48)-1.
