To get meter to feet table
Enter meters in Col A starting at A2
Enter this formula in B2 and copy down
=A2 * 3.2808399

For litres to gallons
enter litres in Col C from C2
and enter this formula in D2 and copy down...
=C2 * 0.264172052
or
=C2/3.78541178

Your 3.78541178 is correct for US gallons to liters
BUT for Imperial gallons the value is 4.54609188 gallons per litres

Jefferson (who set up the US system of measures) chose the Queen Anne wine
gallon and the Brits opted for the older beer gallon

Ho-ly-cow. THAT was some serious history lesson. I am printing this one out
next time someone asks.

Thanks Bernard,

I knew they were different (but forgot while replying to the post) but I did
NOT know the reason...

Many thanks...
