Conversions To & From Feet-Inch To Decimal/base 10
Nov 14, 2009I often use feet and inch inputs for calulations. I prefer to input a typical feet & inch input into one cell using this format: ft-n.
example: 12ft 9in would input as 12-9
This would need to be converted into a decimal for calcualtions. Also I would like to convert from Decimal back to ft-in.
Convert 1/2-20 3a Fractions Into Decimal
Jun 24, 2009I need to convert the fraction at the beginning of a cells text into the decimal equivelent. for example 1/4-20 3A would give .2500. I have this formula so far that works perfect for fractions that only contain 1 number on each side of the division sign such as 1/2.

Dec 14, 2009I have received help on this topic in the past and I though I had solved the issue, however I realized recently that my formula will not work on any fractions larger than 1 inch. I am converting machine threads in fraction form to a decimal equivalent. here is an example of the what the entry looks like before it is converted.
ex,
1/2-20 3A (becomes .5000)or
3/4-13 2A (becomes .7500)or
1-14 3A this one will not work with my current formula (should be 1.0000);

Feb 6, 2009I know that if I enter =3/4 in a cell it will give me .75 but is there is formula to convert fractions into decimals or is this the best way to do it? I was also wondering if there is some way to convert the decimal amount to a fraction
for measurement conversions I know that
=B3*25.4 will convert a decimal to mm and so will the formula =CONVERT(E4,"in","mm")
and to convert mm to a decimal a few formula that work are
=CONVERT(H3,"mm","in")
=MROUND(H4/25.4, 1/8)
=H5/25.4
=INT(H6/25.39999918*8)/8
But is there a way to convert a fraction to the decimal and is there a way to convert mm to a fraction instead of the decimal equivalent of the fraction?
or maybe a formula to convert mm to inches but instead of the result being in decimal format it would be in fraction format?

Importing Inch Dimensions With "
Aug 13, 2009I am a woodworker. I have a CAD program that gives me a cut list of all the parts I need. I then take this list into Excel and do some stuff with the data.
all the dimensions are in fractional inches where ' is used to designate feet and " designates inches. I use the find and replace command to get rid of the ' and ". if the dimension is just a fraction like 3/4 Excel thinks this is a date and displays march 4th. I have tried formatting the cells to numbers before i do the find replace with no luck.
Ranking Multiple Columns By 1000th Inch
Jul 5, 2006I have the following data (measured in 1/1000th of an inch)(I have rounded down in this example though!!!)
NameABCDEAGGReal RANK
AAAAA0.110.120.090.120.270.1422
BBBBB0.120.1140.080.1350.2610.1421
CCCCC0.350.170.170.160.110.1923
copied down to a minimum of 100 rows (names) The AGG is the sum(a:e/5)
When u use RANK(agg,agg1:agg100,1) It ties Names AAAA and BBBB as they both have AGG of 0.142. Problem is the rule book states ties are split by the smallest of the results for each competitor in columns A to E. In this example BBBB is 2nd as he has smallest result in Column C being 0.08.
I have tried the AGG+1/min(a:e) and still end up with incorrect results. The problem is the numbers are so small and you have to split ties all the way to the 100th person involved. I cant use sort either as the data has to be printed in alphabeticall name order all the way to 100 names with their ranks recorded against the names.

However, when I copy the values from the cells on the source workbook and paste them into the target workbook, the numbers end up having 12 decimal places. Ultimately, this extra precision causes my totals to be off by .01 or more after a while. I have tried rounding the number as I pull it off the source workbook into the variable, but that didn't matter. How do I solve this problem? Code for pulling data from source workbook:...

Convert Or Format Decimal To X Digits Without Decimal Point
Aug 8, 2008I am trying to create a unique sample code by putting together the values of other cells that a user will input. It's all working well apart from the last part, where I am trying to include a decimal number. I want the decimal number to appear without the central "." and in a four digit format. e.g. 2.5 would appear as 0250, 14.25 would appear as 1425. This is the formlua I am using currently:
=IF(ISBLANK(B4),"",IF(LEFT(C4,1)="w",(B4&"-"&TEXT(F4,"YYMMDD")&C4&TEXT(G4,"HHMM")),(B4&"-"&TEXT(F4,"YYMMDD")&C4&LEFT(TEXT(H4,"00"),2)&RIGHT(TEXT(H4,"00"),2))))
However, where the value of H4 is 2.5, I am getting a result of 0303 (I've put this part in bold). I have attached a small spreadsheet to aid understanding.

View 10 Replies View RelatedConcatenating Fractions
Apr 6, 2008I'm trying to create a model for woodworking where I can enter fractional wood sizes and have Excel create panel sizes and board lengths for cabinetry. I can easily get the inputs formatted in fractions, but then I'd like to have a concatenation formula that joins two fractions and displays a panel size as a fraction. However, when I try to do this, the concatenation formula changes the fractions to decimals.
Example: cell A1 is 3/4" formatted as fraction. Cell A2 is 1 1/2" formatted as fraction. Let's say I want a to concatenate so that A3 reads
3/4 x 1 1/2
But when I use concatenate (A1," x ",A2) the answer in A3 reads
.75 x 1.5
Specific Fractions In Cells?
Feb 11, 2014How do you limit a cell to only display fractions in sixteenths, eighths, quarters, and halves?
I'll give an example.....we use excel to cut list doors in our cabinet shop. On a three panel door it will spit out a fraction of 1/12" (or 5/12, or 7/12 etc), but this looks a lot like 1/2" and the guys frequently cut them the wrong size.
Is there any way to limit a cell so it will only display in these fractions 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 etc? and I don't mean by just saying to format in sixteenths, because if I do that then it displays 12/16" when I want it to say 3/4".
I basically want it to round to the nearest sixteenth, but I want it to display to the closest sixteenth, eighth, quarter, half etc.
Formatting Cells As Fractions
Nov 8, 2008I have a spreadsheet to calculate piping offsets, center to center.
The formula in B:1 is simple. Take the length in cell A:1 and multiply
it by the square root of 2.
I then increment the length by 1/8 of an inch through cell A:180 and those
results are place in B:2 thru B:180.
The results are display to the nearest 1/16 of an inch. But if the actual
dimension is eight and one half inch, it is displayed as 8 8/16. For aesthetic
reason i wish to display the reducible fractions reduced. So that 8 8/16
is displayed as 8 1/2 inch.
I understand that i may go to each cell and individually format it accordingly
as halves
as quarters
as eights
but was wondering if there is an easier method.

Fractions To Decimals With And Without Hyphens
Feb 12, 2014I have fractions and whole numbers in a column as per the following.
E13 = 3/4
E15 = 5
E17 = 1-1/2
I can use the formula =SUBSTITUTE(E17,"-"," ")+0 which gives the correct result of 2.5 and also correct
for E15 with the answer 5.
But I'm stumped how to get it correct for E13 where it is less than whole number.
I can use the formula =IF(E13=0,0,("0 "&E11)+0) but that won't work for the remainder of the cells.

Fractions In UserForm TextBox
Nov 11, 2006I know I can use fractions in Excel, eg. 1/4 will yield .25 when formatted for number.
I wanted to allow users to enter fractions in a userform, but alas, it seems to come out as text. So I gave up on the idea, and then it hit me that this forum might be able to provide the answer. If so, maybe I'll include it before I finish my project.
In a nutshell, I want to have users put in fractions, decimals or whole numbers in the userform so I can use it in formulas. (I haven't given any thought to handling combinations like 1 1/2. Later for that). Is there any way for the Excel to know that the textbox on the userform is a number?
Formula Returns Value With Fractions Of Pennies Even Though There Are None
Feb 14, 2014I created a table for a check register. Column D is the transaction amount and column I is the updated balance. Column D has no formulas. It is where I enter the transaction amount. I checked all entries and even re-typed them. I extended the decimals out to the maximum and they are all. $$.CC000000000etc - no fractions of pennies. However the Subtotal 109 formula at the bottom of the table computes the answer with fractions of pennies even though there are no entries with fractions of pennies. And at row 118 in column I it also starts computing it as fractions of a penny.
Column I has a formula. Row 1 of course is titles. The second row is my begining balance with this formula: +"Table Name"[[#This Row],[Amount]] In other words what is in Column D row 2 as my first transaction, the beginning balance. The rest of the column has this formula +I(row above)+$D(that row) so in column 3 it is +I2+$D3 and so forth down the rest of the table. It had read +I2+"Table Name"[[#This Row],[Amount]] but I changed it to $D because I thought that might fix the error. It didn't
Columns D and I are the only ones with dollar amounts and really any numbers, except for the dates in column B. E is the envelope, F is the category, and G is the transaction status (cleared, pending, etc.). They have drop down boxes. Column H is notes. It is formatted as text. In the transaction amount column (D) I enter debits as negative numbers and credits as positive. e.g., a check written for $20 is -20.00 and a deposit of $20 is 20.00. Column I, my balance does not have any negative numbers. -fortunately-
The problem is minor and I could work around it. However it impacts my formula which tells me that I "balance." It will not return the value "Balanced" as it is computing a variance between my bank balance+uncleared items being equal to my CR balance by a fraction of a penny.

Time Fractions And User Input
Mar 12, 2008What I am doing is creating a spreadsheet solution to tack race times. These show up in past performances in the following formats in paper copies: 45 2/5 seconds. The end user would have to put in maybe 30 of these times based on the number of contestants. Keeping in mind that the 45 2/5 number will be used in some calculations, I want to give the user the easiest input interface. Meaning instead of inputting like this; 0:45.4 (mm:ss/00 format), I would like them to just enter 45.4. the spreadsheet would input format this cell into a time format that would be able to have calculations done to it. Another example might be 1:35.60 (mm:ss.00 format) which is 1 minute 35 and 3/5 seconds. This would be entered as 135.6.
A few questions first:
1) Would it be easier to leave the number inputed alone until the calculations ar finished then translate into a time factor?
or
2) would it be necessary to convert into a time factor as inputted be cause of the 60 factor involved with the time factor?
Having asked those questions, setting this all up with the exact scope I am working towards, any help or sugesstions as to the best way to proceed would be fantastic!
