converting commodity prices
I am attempting to convert commodity prices from a web query and cannot seem
to make it happen. The prices are in one column ( and example "339'4") so properly converted it should read $3.395. I can do it use a text to columns, but that is not automated and would prefer not to have to run the text to columns everytime. |

Assuming the string *always* starts with 3 digits.
Try this: =--(TEXT(LEFT(A1,3)/100,"0.00")&(RIGHT(A1)/8)*1000) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "stifler421" wrote in message ...
