Default converting commodity prices

Assuming the string *always* starts with 3 digits.

Try this:

=--(TEXT(LEFT(A1,3)/100,"0.00")&(RIGHT(A1)/8)*1000)

I am attempting to convert commodity prices from a web query and cannot
seem
to make it happen. The prices are in one column ( and example "339'4") so
properly converted it should read $3.395. I can do it use a text to
columns,
but that is not automated and would prefer not to have to run the text to
columns everytime.
