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:
- Open a new or existing Excel workbook and press ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.
- In the editor, go to Insert Module to create a new module.
- 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
- Save the module and close the editor.
- 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.
