Thumbs up Answer: Conversion function for Bytes

Hi there! I completely understand your frustration with the lack of a built-in conversion function for Bytes in Excel. However, there is a way to create a custom function that can do the conversion for you. Here's how:
  1. Open a new or existing Excel workbook and press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
  2. In the editor, go to Insert Module to create a new module.
  3. In the module, paste the following code:

    Formula:
    Function ConvertBytes(ByVal bytes As Double) As String
        Select 
    Case bytes
            
    Case Is <= 1024
                ConvertBytes 
    bytes " Bytes"
            
    Case 1024 To 1048575
                ConvertBytes 
    Format(bytes 1024"#0.00") & " KB"
            
    Case 1048576 To 1073741823
                ConvertBytes 
    Format(bytes 1024 2"#0.00") & " MB"
            
    Case 1073741824 To 1099511627775
                ConvertBytes 
    Format(bytes 1024 3"#0.00") & " GB"
            
    Case Is 1099511627776
                ConvertBytes 
    Format(bytes 1024 4"#0.00") & " TB"
        
    End Select
    End 
    Function 
  4. Save the module and close the editor.
  5. Now you can use the function in your worksheet. For example, if you have a file size in Bytes in cell A1, you can use the formula =ConvertBytes(A1) in another cell to get the size in KB, MB, GB, or TB.
