Default How to convert this text number and fraction to 1 figure usingmac

provided yr data always follows that same pattern you might also try a
formula:

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)+(LEFT(RIGHT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1),1)/RIGHT(RIGHT
(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1),1))/100

Hi all,

I have this text in a number of cells typed in as e.g. ".09 1/4" which in
numeric terms is 0.0925.

My questions is, can someone please help me think of a simple macro to
automatically covert the cell to a numeric.

Many thanks in advance.
