I would like 12.35 meters to come out as 40' 6.25"

Not ideal, but a slightly different method might be the following.
If you can live with the leading zero on the inches...

40.' 06.22 ''

=TEXT(DOLLARFR(CONVERT(A1,"m", "ft"),12),"0.' 00\.00 ''")

or just use the formula, and make it a custom cell format.

= = = =

I'd even like to have the ' and " instead of feet/inches. Is all that a
possibility?

Thanks for help.

One way:

=INT(CONVERT(A1,"m","ft"))& " feet, "&
TEXT(MOD(CONVERT(A1,"m","in"), 12), "0 ""inches""")

i'm trying to convert from meters to feet and inches (not just feet or not
just inches).
so if i have 2 meters, i want the result to read 6 feet, 2 inches for
example not 6.x feet or 78 inches.
here's the formula i have, which i can't get right.
=CONVERT(2,"m","ft""in").
