Default Conversion Formula

The closest I can easily get is =INT(A1/12)&"'
"&INT(MOD(A1,12))&TEXT(MOD(A1,1),"# ?/?")&""""
which gives 5' 0 5/8"

Default Conversion Formula

0.625 = 5/8

Will the full inches *ALWAYS* be a multiple of a full foot? Will you have
entries like:

1.25
8.50
0.75
13.125

Suggest this modified version:

=INT(A1/12)&"'
"&INT(MOD(A1,12))&IF(MOD(A1,1),TEXT(MOD(A1,1), "??/??")&"""","""")
