I need to convert Meters to Feet and Inch measurments. I need it in
fractional format I.e. 1/4, 1/2, 3/8, 5/16, 8/32.
Ex. 1 Meter
= 3 1/2 Feet


I assume you want the reduced fraction. i.e. you would want 1/2 rather than
8/32.

If you have the Analysis Tool Pak installed, you may use this formula:

=mROUND(convert(A1,"m","ft"),1/32)

And custom format the cell as fraction with up to 2 digits.

If you don't have or want the ATP installed, then:

=ROUND(A1*3.28084*32,0)/32

(still formatting the cell as fraction with up to 2 digits).
