Thumbs up Answer: convert meters to feet/inches

To convert meters to feet and inches in Microsoft Excel, use the following formula:

Formula:
=(CONVERT(A1,"m","ft")&" "&ROUND((A1-CONVERT(A1,"m","ft"))*12)&" in"
Here, A1 is the cell containing the value in meters that you want to convert.

Formula breakdown:
  1. CONVERT(A1,"m","ft") converts the value in cell A1 from meters to feet.
  2. ROUND((A1-CONVERT(A1,"m","ft"))*12) calculates the remaining inches after converting to feet. This formula subtracts the feet value from the original value in meters, then multiplies the result by 12 to get the remaining inches. The ROUND function rounds the result to the nearest whole number.
  3. The & symbol joins the two results together with a space in between.
  4. " in" adds the "in" abbreviation for inches to the end of the formula.

For example, if you have 2 meters in cell A1, the formula will return "6 ft 7 in" (rounded up from 6 ft 6.74 in).
