Hi
Have a read of Chip's site: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/FeetInches.htm It gets a bit complex but it should set you off in the right direction! Hope this helps. Andy. "student" wrote in message ...

See the DOLLARDE and DOLLARFR functions in help.
=DOLLARFR(DOLLARDE(5.08,12)+DOLLARDE(7.09,12),12) returns 13.05. These functions are part of the Analysis ToolPak add-in, so you'll need to have that add-in loaded. Go to the Tools menu, choose Add-Ins, and check Analysis ToolPak in the list of available addins. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "student" wrote in message ...

In addition to Chips's excellent method, you could enter (in A1) 5 8/12 and
(in A2) 7 9/12 In A3 enter =A1+A2 To keep Excel from rationalizing fractions like 8/12 to 2/3, format the cell as # ??/12 -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "student" wrote in message ...
