Having seen your example, I would modify your entry so that you put the
first measurement in A1 and the second in B1 then modify my original
posting to
=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,find("/",A1),1)/MID(A1,FIND("/",A1)+1,255)
&" x " &
MID(B1,FIND(" ",B1)+1,find("/",B1),1)/MID(B1,FIND("/",B1)+1,255)

I am typing in measuments of packages - i.e. 16 3/8 X 5 1/8, I want
excel to
convert to decimal. I have tried format cells, and convert, neither
have
this option available.

Can you give examples of how you need to deal with the fractions?
Are you typing them?
Are they in data that was imported?
Are you referring to them in another cell?

What have you tried?
What were you hoping for?
What were the actual results?
