Default convert to feet and inches

But if 1.9878 is in feet, then format the sell with custom format # ??/12 to
see 2
And 15.56 shows as 15 7/12


If 1.9878 is metres and is in A1 then =A1/0.038 with the same custom format
show 52 4/12

In all cases, the values are numeric and you can do math on them.

best wishes
