hash sha256 calculation
Hi Sergei,
This sample did the trick indeed.... however the "EncodeBase64" function leads to an #VALUE! when called from the spreadsheet. What can be the explaination for this?
Public Function BASE64SHA1(ByVal sTextToHash As String)
Dim asc As Object
Dim enc As Object
Dim TextToHash() As Byte
Dim SharedSecretKey() As Byte
Dim bytes() As Byte
Const cutoff As Integer = 5
Set asc = CreateObject("System.Text.UTF8Encoding")
Set enc = CreateObject("System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA1")
TextToHash = asc.GetBytes_4(sTextToHash)
SharedSecretKey = asc.GetBytes_4(sTextToHash)
enc.Key = SharedSecretKey
bytes = enc.ComputeHash_2((TextToHash))
BASE64SHA1 = EncodeBase64(bytes)
BASE64SHA1 = Left(BASE64SHA1, cutoff)
Set asc = Nothing
Set enc = Nothing
End Function
Private Function EncodeBase64(ByRef arrData() As Byte) As String
Dim objXML As Object
Dim objNode As Object
Set objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
Set objNode = objXML.createElement("b64")
objNode.DataType = "bin.base64"
objNode.nodeTypedValue = arrData
EncodeBase64 = objNode.text
Set objNode = Nothing
Set objXML = Nothing
End Function
Hi Duco,
IMHO, it shall not work from within Excel sheet, that's only supporting function for BASE64SHA()

ok...
In the cell b2 of the attached sheet there is a value error.
The function: EncodeBase64 is specified in vba as:
Private Function EncodeBase64(ByRef arrData() As Byte) As String
Dim objXML As Object
Dim objNode As ObjectSet objXML = CreateObject("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
Set objNode = objXML.createElement("b64")objNode.DataType = "bin.base64"
objNode.nodeTypedValue = arrData
EncodeBase64 = objNode.TextSet objNode = Nothing
Set objXML = NothingEnd Function
Why is there a value error when using this function?
