xl Check if bits are SET in vba
'Fast VBA function to test if specific bits are set
'within a Byte. If ALL specified bits are set then this function
'returns True. If ANY of the specified bits are not set then
'this function returns False.
'Bits are numbered from 0 to 7, so the first (least significant) bit
'is bit 0.
'Note: bits can be specified in any order.
