How To Convert Units Within A Cell

Dec 13, 2007

What I am trying to do is take entered data in a spread sheet, and convert the units within that cells.

I have several entries for data in this sheet. Here is what I want to do:

-I have 104 entered in cell B2
-I want to convert that reading (which is ºF) to ºC in that same cell
-I would like a button or selection from a drop down box to select Metric or Imperial

I want to do this so if the whole spread sheet is entered in metric, I can select a name or click a button to have all the data switch to imperial. I know I can do this with two sheets in the same file, but I am not sure if this is possible to do in a cell I entered the data in. Any help would be great. I am using Office 2003.

If Function With Letters - Calculate And Convert Units

Apr 11, 2012

I am making an IF function that calculates and converts units, for example kg to g and g to kg etc.

This is the formula I typed in

=IF(E6=kg, ((F6/D6)*G6/1000), ((F6/D6)*G6))

When I evaluate it I get the #NAME error. What do I need to change to make it work?

Deleting The Units (letters) In Two Cell Ranges And Graph It

Jun 26, 2009

I would like to build a Macro to delete units (ex: 10V --->10) of two cell ranges that are not beside each other and eventually automate it to graph these two ranges because I will be running samples and have to produce a graphs for each sample.

I tried the code below, but I can't figure out how to include 2 ranges without deleting letters in other cells in in between the ranges.

for ex: I want to delete the non numerical characters in the two ranges C3:C1000 and H3:H1000 and graph these ranges.

Round Up In Units Of 80!

Jan 11, 2009

I need to work out how long the batten has to be so the roof sheets fit evenly, the measurement has to start from 1460mm and go up in increments of 80mm eg 1540mm, 1620mm, 1700mm and so on.

But the number has be closest increment of 80mm over the shed width if this makes sense, the size of the battens for 2400 width shed would be 2420mm but i need this to work out for any width shed not just 2400.

Cost Vs Units Graph

Jan 25, 2009

I'm wondering how to display the following cost model on a graph (this is a piecewise-linear cost model for some production company):

Cost per unit for 0-10 units: $1
Cost per unit for 11-20 units: $3
Cost per unit for 21-30 units: $5
Cost per unit for 31-40 units: $8
Fixed cost: $100 (this is regardless of the number of units produced)

Basically I'm looking to construct a cost vs units graph.

Total Units For Each Customer

Feb 3, 2009

I have been tasked with tracking the expected income for our Advertising Department. (I work for a newspaper.) The rate I charge an ad depends upon the total number of advertising units a customer purchases during an entire billing period. Essentially: I need to have a total of column G for when column B matches the current row. I need this in column K. The value of K should be the same when the value of B is the same.

My programing flow chart I sketched out checked to see if any row in column B that is above the current row matched the current row's data. If it did then it would use that row's value for the total number of units. If it did not it would add up the units from G when B matched the current column. I attached a document

Even Distribution Of Units Across All Prices

Sep 15, 2007

Refer to the attached sample workbook,
(Keep in mind that there is an error in the sample workbook; Im not sure how to remove and re-attach the sample workbook as this is my first day on this forum.)

Cell F19 should contain =D19*B19

Column 1- These values will not change and represent price/cost of each UNIT
Column 2- "UNITS" the quantity or number of items at column1 value
Column 3- "$ AMT" the total cost of UNITS at that price/cost, i.e. Column1*Column2

Im looking for a way populate the values in Column2 when, "NUMBER OF UNITS" AND "AVERAGE COST PER UNIT" are changed

Ideally speaking, As few units in one row as possible to allow for a good mix.
For example: What i don't want is $9000*86 for 774k.

If it helps: "AVERAGE COST PER UNIT" will always be a whole number rounded up to the nearest 1000.

I believe a Most Even distribution of units will work fine.

After the distribution/population of fields in column2;

D29 must equal F3
F29 must equal F7

I'm looking for something that will populate the values in D12:D27 while adhering to the two conditions above. Even when the Input at F3 and F4 are changed.

The values in "UNITS" represent the number of a specific cost item in inventory when added together do not exceed the "TOTAL COST OF INVENTORY". Depending on store location, the "AVERAGE COST PER UNIT" and/or the "NUMBER OF UNITS" will change. It will be used to help forecast how many of a specific cost item should be purchased based on the overall average unit cost without exceeding the budget or inventory space.

Summing Certain Values In A Range Which Have Different Units

Mar 4, 2009

I have three columns. Lets assume i have One header row and 3 rows of actual data and the 4th row is for totaling column B values.

Column A is a col of "Ingredients", column B is the amount of the ingredient (from col A) used. The value is either in Oz or Lbs. Can be either. Column C is a yes or no column. If the value is Yes then i want to have the value in col-B included in my overall sum which is in the 4th row. If the value is No then i do not want the value in col-b (in that row) included in the overall sum.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks.

Sum Numeric Values That Include Units

Oct 23, 2009

I have lists of room areas in metres squared, I extract the web based lists to excel: for example.

10.56 m2
14.23 m2
21.34 m2

How do i calculate the total of these amounts?
Is there a formular to remove the "m2"?

I have tried using =SUBSTITUTE(A1,"m2","") which deletes the "m2" from the cell, but then I can't use =SUM(A1:A3) as this totals the 3 cells as 0.

If i use =SUM(A1+A2+A3) the total is correct, but I have over 3000 cells in one column to add together.

Is there a formula or something to remove all instances of "m2" or "m3" from the whole sheet or another way i can calculate the totals.

Converting Units And Decimal Places.

Nov 23, 2009

I have a simple spreadsheet that allows the user to enter a dimension in metric or inches. I want to display the other units in the adjacent cell. In cell A1, the units are "Metric" or "Inch" in a pull down list. In cell A2, the value is entered.

In cell A3 i want to show the value in the other units. So if A1 is Metric, then take A2 and divide by 25.4. And if A1 is Inch, then take A2 and multiply by 25.4.
Also, if A1 is Inch, then display 2 decimal places in A3, and if A1 is Metric, then display 3 decimal places in A3. Is this possible?

How Do I Set Up A Formula For Parts (or Units) Per Hour

Apr 12, 2006

I'm trying to set up a spreadsheet that tracks total hours worked and total
units produced. Then I need to have a column that shows how many units per
hour were produced.

Currently, I have something like this:
Column A is in elapsed time [h]:mm
Column B is a Number with two decimal places
Column C divides Column B by Column A

However, I get strange results. For example:
Column A is 6:24:00
Column B is 13
Column C shows 120.00

13 parts in 6:24 hours should be something like 2.1666 parts per hour!

Calculate Dollar Value Based On Number Of Units

Jan 30, 2014

I am attempting to calculate a dollar value that is based on a number of units. Each unit has a different dollar value depending on how many units there are. for instance,

if the spreadsheet reports one unit, then I need to return $45
if the spreadsheet reports two units, then I need to return $65 or 1st unit at 45 and 2nd unit at $20.
if the spreadheet reports three units, then I need to return $ 75 or 1st unit at $45, 2nd at $20 and 3rd at $10
all subsequent units 4 and up need to add $10 per additional unit.

Pricing Model Formula Based On Units Produced

Nov 27, 2013

We are trying to work out a pricing model based on how many units we will produce. In production the price per unit will be really high when you produce a low quanity, and the price per unit will be lower with the more units you produce (but never reach zero). What we are trying to accomplish is to create a formula to build a pricing structure that accounts for this curve without having to price every possible scenario.

For example, if we have the following data where for 1 unit we charge $3 per unit to produce, for 5 units we charge $2 per units to produce, etc...:

1 units @ $3 per unit
5 units @ $2 per unit
10 units @ $1 per unit

What I need to figure out is how much it would cost per unit if we were to produce 3 units. I'm guessing it would be somewhere around the $2.40 mark give or take. Or say 8 units, would be something like $1.50 per unit.

Is there a formula that can calculate this? I've tried thinking of it as a moving average, or prorating the pricing.

Excel 2003 :: Copying First Instance To New Worksheet Then Adding Total Units?

Jun 5, 2014

Basically the first worksheet (equipment list) is set out for parts used for each individual unit which can be printed out for each unit.

The second worksheet is an equipment list, where each part number and quantity required is displayed which can be sent to suppliers for ordering.

At the moment I

-> copy the equipment list to a new worksheet
-> do an advanced filter for "Unique records only"
-> =SUMIF('Equipment List'!B:B,'Parts List'!A16,'Equipment List'!D:D)

which is much faster than the way we used to do it.

The problem is, when I add a part to the equipment list that is new, I need to go through the process again.

Is there a way to automate so any parts I add to the equipment list, if it is the first time the part number has been entered, it will copy to the parts list worksheet and update the qty column or if it is an existing part number it just updates the qty column?

The equipment list may potentially have up to 100 different drives, but using mainly the same equipment.

I created this sample on an old desktop using excel 2003 but I use 2010 on my laptop.

Landscaping Company / Matching Units / Volume And Labor Hours To Hourly Labor Rate

Jun 26, 2014

For a landscaping company, who is looking to service gardens more effectively/efficiently, they are mirroring the below variables to the amount the client is willing to pay per hour. I also have a sample file.

I have, on Sheet1, 8 columns I'm working with:

R3:R132 is the currently hourly rate

L3:L132, M3:M132, N3:N132 are current units, volume, and labor hours respectively by location.

AD3:AD132, AE3:AE132, AF3:AF132 are new units, volume, and labor hours respectively by location.

AI3:AI132 is the suggested hourly rate by location. Note this is already calculated and filled in. I need to calculate new units, volume, and labor hours based on the suggested hourly rate.

On Sheet2, I have 4 columns I'm working with:

A2:A161, B2:B161, C2:C161, B2:B161 are hourly rates, units, volume, and labor hours respectively.

They are laid out in combination with one another to show possible combinations of these variables that make sense for the landscaping company.

My goal is to figure out what combination the company wants to go with for a given hourly rate on Sheet1 given the following logic to follow:

1) Attempt to reduce labor hours to get to suggested hourly rate - This is to calculate new labor hours on Sheet1 in cells AF3:AF132.

Convert Blank Formula Cell To Empty Cell?

Feb 26, 2008

I am using a IF(ISNA(Vlookup##,##,##)),"",(Vlookup##,##,##)) function, in order to remove N/A errors.

Is there anyway to convert the "" values to back to an empty cell without anything in it (i.e not text "", but empty as it was originally). I find that the file sizes are very large, when using this function, as data (although blank) is stored in each cell (i know this, because if I use cntr+arrow, it sees it as data, and not an empty area). I don't want to manually go through each cell and delete them as there is quite a bit of data (10000 rows , 2 columns, 30 tabs)

Convert Cell Reference Text To Cell Formula

Aug 18, 2009

I am wanting to convert a cell reference text
"=$A$1"
to an actual cell reference
=$A$1

Manually I can go through each cell and click F2 + Enter and Excel automatically changes it.

I have tried recording a macro whereby I click through each cell with F2 + Enter but the VBA writes the actual formula "=$A$1" rather than the process. This does not work as the cell reference is variable.

I'm NOT wanting an external cell to convert it for me
i.e. INDIRECT(CELL)
because I am wanting to copy the answer to another independent spreadsheet

I'm NOT wanting to paste values
i.e. return the answer from cell $A$1
because I want the cell reference to remain within the cell.
