Default Formatting text

I have a description field in Column N. It has text in it with some
numbers..

It might look like this.

Data in Column N Row 2
Widget 12.25 x 12.1875

I'm pretty sure excel sees this whole field as Text.

The descriptions are in various lengths, but most of the 1000 entries
have a dimension entry.

I want to display the decimals in fractions and also format the
numbers to reflect inches. ie in. or the "

VBA is probably easiest, but anyone have an idea on how to do this??


Thanks
