Default Converting a GPS waypoint from decimal to degrees, minutes and sec

Are you substituting DD with the cell reference containing the decimal value
or are you naming the cell with the value and calling it DD ?

and the DMS must be referenced as a cell or named range.

This maybe why it does not work?

Hi.

Can anyone help me? I have a GPS waypoint in decimal, and I need to
convert
it to degrees etc. I have a formula I found online, but it doesn't work. I
don't know excel well enough to see where the error is so I'll paste it
here.
Either way, if someone knows a formula for doing the conversion, I'd be
very
grateful if you could post it here.

DMS = TRUNC(DD)&",d ", &TRUNC((DD-TRUNC(DD))*60)&",m",
&INT(((B6-TRUNC(DD))*60-(TRUNC((DD-TRUNC(DD))*60)))*60*10)/10&",s",,",",)

Thank you.

Asa
