Hi CedarHillMatt,

The correct construction of this function for a value in A1 is:
=CONVERT(A1,"ft","km")
Of course, you could do it the old-fashioned way:
=A1*0.0003048

I'm trying to use Excel 2002 to convert feet to kilometers. When I try to use
the CONVERT worksheet function, "#NAME?" is returned. It does the same thing
no matter what units of measure I try to convert. I copied and pasted the
syntax directly from the Office Help section. Any ideas?
