Function definition: (Copy & paste into FileMaker's Edit Custom Function window)

// This function only works with integers


Let ( [
		power = Length ( binary ) - 1 ;
		bin = Left ( binary ; 1 ) ;
		dec = If ( bin ; 2 ^ power ; 0 ) ;
		dec2 = If ( power > 0 ; Bin2Dec ( Right ( binary ; power ) ) ; 0 )
	] ;
	dec + dec2
)

After reviewing similar functions on this site, I decided I wanted one with only a single parameter - the others seem to need the recursion counter.

See also Dec2Bin( Decimal ) for the reverse function
