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 9 Replies View RelatedI 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 am joining two columns of data. first col. has size in fraction format: 7 3/8
second column has text string:
HABITAT CINCY POD HAT ERA BLK/RD
Concatenate= HABITAT CINCY POD HAT ERA BLK/RD 7.375
Changing fraction to decimal, needs to remain fraction.
I have played w/ the formatting to make Number w/ zero decimal places and then selected Fraction, but no luck there.
Is there a way to convert a value in a cell that is 2'-3 1/2" to adecimal such as 27.5"?
excel 2003 SP2
Is there a way to store a text style that will allow me to convert decimal numbers into feet and inches in the same cell?
I want to be able to type in a number like 3.5 and have it read 3'-6".
I 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?
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 5 Replies View RelatedI 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?
i have a combo boxes populated with fractions 1/16, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4 etc up to 15/16.
i just want to output the chosen fraction to a textbox as a decimal.
This is done in a userform, not in a cell.
How, using PageSetup and xlPaperSize properties, to setup a custom paper size of 4 inches by 6 inches???
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?
I have a vba macro that takes data from one workbook and pastes it into another workbook. In doing this I have declared a few variables of type single (I only need two decimal precision). 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:...

View 9 Replies View RelatedI need to convert a column of numbers currently formatted with 2 decimal places e.g. 112.12 to 4 decimal places (without the decimal point). I need the end result to be 1121200. I've tried a few different suggestions given on the forum previously but can't seem to retain the 4 decimal places that I require.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I need a formula to multiply only the decimal number in a cell and not the integer. For example: the number in the cell is 57.3615. I want to multiply .3615 only.
View 2 Replies View Related 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.
How do I get a fraction to show as a fraction rather than decimal in the formula bar by formatting the cell as text.
For ex:
I have "-3/4" in a cell formated as "TEXT" I expect it to show "-3/4" in formula bar but it shows "-0.75".
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
Im combing 2 cells into 1 but using a fraction..
I created 2 examples of what im trying to do..
Example.
A1 = 22
A2 = 11 3/4
=A1&"'-"&TEXT(A2,"# ?/?")&"''"
[b]22'-11 3/4"[b]
but when A2 = 11
i get this..
22'-11___''
on excel it has some space between the 11 and '' but i cant show that here..
i would like the '' to be next to the 11. is there any way to do that?
I have copied from a website some data regarding steel weights, for example 1/16 .005 copies to one cell, when I try text to columns to separate the whole column and move the decimal .005 to the next column the 1/16 changes to 41290. The data copies quite well as HTML into Excel except for where a lone fraction value becomes a 5 digit number beginning with 41***. I can find no conversion calculator on the web to determine what's happening.
View 4 Replies View RelatedCan anyone help me with a code for converting decimal number to a nearest 1/16 th fraction. For example converting number 2.1875 to 2 3/16 and so on...Also if it is 2.5 it should display 2 1/2...
View 14 Replies View RelatedI write up job cards that require measurements in fraction form. Usually whenever i want to round off a figure , say 10/16, to 5/8, i right click on the figure and format cell it. However, this can be quite time consuming if there are multiple cells and are of a different breakdown.
What i would like to know if there's a shortcut way where when the 10/16 is in the cell, it automatically rounds off to the nearest fraction.
I am wanting to get a function that can get the number from a fractions left side only . 13/14 2/1 1/5 etc

Is there any way of formatting a cell to show a percentage with a fraction? For example, I'd like to show: 3 1/3%, 1 2/3%, 2 1/2%, etc.
I'm showing data to a client who will pull out his calculator and add up the decimals on his calculator and be unhappy that the numbers don't add up to 100%.
I can force the output by using TEXT() or multiple columns, but ideally, I'd like a custom format if possible.
I am trying to round a number down to the nearest 1/4". For example;
Round Down 8.80" to 8.75".
Is there any combination of Rounddown and Mround that will accomplish this?
