Default how to convert from ° ' " to decimal °

Is there a simple way to convert from angles in degrees, minutes and seconds
to decimal degrees?
eg 45°30'00" = 45.5°

If you are talking about "in another cell", then this formula seems to do
what you want...

=LEFT(A1,FIND(CHAR(176),A1)-1)+24*TIME(0,--MID(A1,LEN(A1)-5,2),--MID(A1,LEN(A1)-2,2))
