Feet & Inches Formula

Jun 21, 2007

I am making an excel spreadsheet that auto fills in a lot of items for a construction company. One of the most important ones is the Roof Pitch.

1/12 pitch is 1 inch rise every 12 inches.
2/12 pitch is 2 inch rise every 12 inches.

I would like it to auto calculate this and add it to the over all height of the building.

Example:

A house is 20 feet wide with a 2/12 pitch.
Since the Ridge is in the center we divide the Width in half.

So a 2/12 pitch over a span of 10 feet is 20 inches

Feet In Decimal Form To Feet / Inches?

Dec 26, 2013

I need a formula to convert:

3.759 to 3' 9"
3.974 to 4'
4.005 to 4'

I have this currently:

=INT(D9)&"' "&ROUND(TEXT((D9-INT(D9))*12,"#"),0)&CHAR(34)

However, 3.974 returns 3' 12" and 4.005 returns a #VALUE error. I'm picky about the spaces. I'd like it formatted as I have it now.

Convert Decimal Feet To Feet And Inches

May 18, 2011

I am currently working on cut sheets for my current project. I need to take my decimal feet (ie 1.55) and display them as feet and inches (1' 6 5/8") not (1' 6 3/5")

I have a formula which is this

=INT(F17)&"' "&TEXT(12*(F17-INT(F17)),"# #/#")&CHAR(34),

It works but the problem is the fractional inches 6 3/5" i need them to display in 1/8 1/4 1/2 when applicable. Is there something i could add to this formula to make my inches read like a measuring tape (1' 6 5/8") 1/8 1/4 1/2??? I attached the spreedsheet for review.

Converting Feet/inches To Decimal Equivalent

Feb 18, 2006

I am new to Excel but not programming and I am looking for a recommendation for the following. I have a spreadsheet that simply takes the length and width of an area and computes the square feet and yardage and other sundry items. I am entering the feet/inches as follows:

Example: 11.3 (equals 11/ft 3/inches)

The correct decimal conversion should be 11.25 but, obviously, it does not know that the number to the right of the decimal point is an indicator of inches. (ex.: .5=.42, .7=.58, .9=.75, .11=.92)

I have approached this from the stand point of an IF condition, finding the position of the "." and grabbing everything to the right (+1) but I understand that the limitation is 7 nested IFs.

Can someone get me kick-started on what the best approach would be to get my entry to convert to the true decimal equivalent? Currently, I am simply doing the conversion from memory but I would rather automate this sometimes errant approach.

This is a continuance of the Q and A below. Except the answer below converted a decimal like 1.44 to and answer like 1' 5.28".

1' - 5 1/4"

Is there a formula for this format?

Index - All Up All Square Feet

Mar 13, 2014

I have 6 rows A1-A6(sheetsize), they can be 1 of 8 numbers. (16,14,12,10, 5/8, 1/2, 3/8, 3/16) these are all metal gauges. The cell next to them B1-B6(sheetgauge) has a number that refers to how much sq ft each of these sheet metal sizes has. I would like a cell below A30 to add up all the sq ft in B1-B6 if it is 16 gauge. Then A31 will add up all the 14 gauge, etc.

How is this possible without having a huge formula.

Here is my standard formula, but it wont add the B cells together if more than one of the same sheet sizes.

=index(sheetsize,match(A31,sheetgauge,0))

This would need to be converted into a decimal for calcualtions. Also I would like to convert from Decimal back to ft-in.

Formula For Deleting A Formula When The Formula Has Done Its Calculation

Oct 7, 2009

I was wondering if there is a formla that will delete a formula when it has done its calculation, or stop the formula from constantly updating.

I've got a formula

=IF(COUNTA(A1)=1,TODAY(),"")

When something is typed in Cell A1 the cell with the formula will input todays date.

Is there a formula that will stop this formula from updating, as when you go into the file on a different day the date would have been updated.

VBA To Read Text Formula And Related Constants And Insert As Formula Into Cell

Jul 30, 2014

I have a situation where I have to curve fit data, this can lead to different formulas being used with varying constants.

Is it possible to pickup a TEXT based formula and related constants from other cells, and then place this into another cell as a functioning formula. For Example

Cell A1 contains the formula as a text string whether it be y=a+bx+cx^2, or y=a+b/x, etc
Cells A2:A6 contain the individual constants, a, b, c, etc

I would then want the VBA to read the text based formula and put it into an output cell as a functioning excel formulae.g

In cell B10: =a+b*A10+c*A10^2

I understand picking the constants up and putting the formula should not be too much of an issue, however trying to insert the variable form of the curve fit is the part that I am struggling with, and am unsure if possible.
