At a glance, I can tell you it doesn't return the proper bit lengths and it doesn't return a binary string for the value zero.

For instance, an 8 bit result for the dec value 25 should return: 00011001

The mvidas formula returns a 5 bit result for 25 and other various bit lengths for other numbers.

Yeah, I didn't add the ability to change the bit length at runtime, the first one shows it being a hardcoded length and the second one I posted only displays what is necessary.

I also didn't add the ability to handle 0, good catch. (could be fixed by adding 'If DecToBin = "" Then DecToBin = "0"' at the end, but there really isn't a need since Aaron's already does this)

Aaron's formula has the same idea to convert it, his is just better for the actual need of the conversion, mine simply converts without a real use :) More designed to show an easier way to convert, not much else.
