- I believe the answer at the moment is "No" but a very simple formula in LibreOffice 5.4.3.2 can achieve the desired result:
- =LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B1;0;""))
- where B1 contains:
- =BASE(A1;2;8)
- as valid and A1 contains the number in decimal.
- The B1 cell would not be required with this version:
- =LEN(SUBSTITUTE(BASE(A1;2;8);0;""))
- This converts to binary, strips out the `0`s and counts the number of characters left thereafter.
With the appropriate delimiter, should also work in Excel, Sheets and OpenOffice Calc.
