I need a formula to automatically convert inches to square feet. I have =IF(G5>12,G5/144). and G5 is the cell used to enter your inch value. The formula wrks great, but only if you enter over 12 inches. I'm pretty sure Im on the right track, just need to know how to add in the part about if its less than 12 inches it should be multiplied by 12.

I need help shrinking down my formula to make it fit in one cell.
Right now, the way i have it, it spans across (7) different cells to get the results i desire. Is there a way i can make this shorter?

I'm an excel novice. I am trying to create a chart that assigns a range of foot measurements to each shoe size, but the data I am working with has only one measurement for each shoe size. Example: The data I have says:
size 7 = 250mm
size 7.5 = 255 mm
size 8 = 260 mm
So I want to create a formula, so the chart reads something like:
size 7 = 247.5mm - 252.5mm
size 7.5 = 252.5mm - 257.5mm
size 8 = 257.5mm - 262.5mm

View 3 Replies View RelatedI need a formula to tell me whether a number is a square number, or I can do it so to see if the square root of a number is an interger. So far Iv been doing
A1 = 2
A2 = AND(RIGHT(A1,1)=INT(A1))
True or false outcome is fine, and it has been working fine on some examples, but the problem comes when I have 49, as it is 2 digits long. I've seen a formula similar to find the root symbol, and look at all the numbers upto this point (maybe FIND).
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
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.
Question.xlsx
I am working in excel 2003 and I need to convert feet and inches into decimal feet. Example: 15'-10 5/8" to 15.88542
15'-10 5/8" will be in say, column B, and the conversion will be in say, column Q.
This formula will be copied all the way down the page.
how to do this or can it even be done in this version?
believe this is a simple formula I just cant seem to get it right. Example: H1 has 859.375 and I need H2 to be 71' 7 3/8

View 1 Replies View RelatedI know this ain't going to be easy if at all do-able, but would anyone know if there can be a formula/s made to calculate the largest size "square" shape (e.g. all 4 corners at 90 deg.) that would fit in to a known size Quadrilateral?
Value A,B,C,D and Z are all known values as are the diagonal lengths between corners
I failed dismally in Geometry at High school, but how was I to know that 35 yrs later I would need to know this stuff!!
Please see diagram for an idea of what I'm trying to achieve.
I am working on a spreadsheet which has a column which shows square footages (Column AE) and I also have a column which shows costs (Column Y).
What I would like to do is to bracket these footages in to 6 bands (0 - 5000, 5000 - 10000, 10000 - 15000, 15000 - 20000, 20000 - 25000, 25000+) and then average the costs within a particular band.
I have an Excel workbook that contains multiple shetts with multiple cells and complicated calulations.
i want to add 2 options:
1. Metric & Imperial Systems; where the user can select either system and based on that certain cell values will convert from one system to another. I decided to standardize the workbook with Imperial (square foot) and then the user can if desired change into metric (square meters). I have designed all the necessary cells (selection & factor from foot to meter). My challenge now is to convert all the cells that is in Sq. Foot to Sq. Meters and vice versa. I comcluded that it cannot be done without a macro. Does anyone have an idea how to achieve that without duplicating all cells?
2. I have the same problem ad 1 above with currencies. I believe once i solve 1 i can solve this one.
So my first question is "Is there any easy way of figuring out which cells are in Sq. Foot or Sq Meters and converting them accordingly? if not I would have to write a macro and specify each cell reference there. Never mind the fact that with my modest VBA knowledge i can't write such a macro.
I have to make a excel document in which I have length and width in feet and inch format.
E.g. 10.01 in which 10 is feet and .01 is inch
I have all the length and width values in the above format. And what I want to do is convert the inch value (10.01) to feet value (.01=.08 feet) .
Just like the calculator here does.. [URL] ........
Like
10.01=10.08
10.02=10.16
10..03=10.25
...and so on...
Here is table of conversions from inches to decimal feet. But I don't know how to get a formula for this in excel...????
Inch Decimal of a Foot
1 inch 0.0833
2 inches 0.167
3 inches 0.250
4 inches 0.333
5 inches 0.417
6 inches 0.500
7 inches 0.583
8 inches 0.667
9 inches 0.750
10 inches 0.833
11 inches 0.917
12 inches 1.000
I need to convert inches to feet and inches in this format:
88 1/2 = 7' 4-1/2"
...so that if 88 1/2 is in cell A1, cell B1 will show 7' 4-1/2".
The exact syntax of B1 must be as shown.
Could someone please tell me what is wrong with this formula. I have been looking at it for so long, I can't even concentrate .....

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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))
My code works great on my computer but when I bring it to another computer it gives me errors. I think it has to do with my use of square brackets to reference cells. the error that comes up is
compile error:
can't find project or library
What I'm doin here is going to my template sheet then getting the info from different cells and then later using it somewhere else. in place of using range and selecting cell I am using square brackets to select a cell. it worked fine on my computer and was a lot less writing, here is a small part of my code
I often see square brackets around ranges in code. eg [A1]
if there are any advantages/disadvantages with using this notation, apart from the obvious its shorter?
I have a table set up that calculates feet and inches. My problem is that if I have an answer like 2'-0 3/8", it suppresses the zero. I tried setting the format up like ##"'" ##"''" ?/? with no luck.

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".
except the final format I am after requires the 5.28" to be fractional such as:
1' - 5 1/4"
Is there a formula for this format?
