Convert inches & display as Feet Inches and Fractions -- BUG FREE
For Cell A1 enter a value of inches and use the decimal place to
represent fractions of an inch (e.g. 3.5 for 3-1/2") For Cell B1 paste in this formula: =IF(ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)=ABS(A1)*16,"","~") & IF(OR(A10,ROUND(ABS(A1) *16,0)=0),"","(") & TRIM(IF(INT(ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)/(12*16))=0,"",INT (ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)/(12*16))&"' ") & IF(AND(ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)<0,MOD (ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0),(12*16))=0),"",TRIM(IF(AND(RO UND(ABS(A1)*16,0) <0,INT(MOD(INT(ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)),(12*16))/16)=0),"",INT(MOD(INT (ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)),(12*16))/16)&IF(MOD(INT(ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)),16) =0,"","-")) & IF(MOD(INT(ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)),16)=0,"",TRIM(TEXT (MOD (INT(ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)),(16))/16,"??/??"))) &""""))) & IF(OR (A10,ROUND(ABS(A1)*16,0)=0),"",")") This formula will round to the nearest 16th inch; if you want to round to 8ths instead, then change EVERY 16 to an 8 and it will work. This formula will place a tilde ~ on the far left when rounding was required; it denotes that it's an approximation rather than being exact. If no rounding was needed, then the display is an exact representation and no tilde will show up. Parentheses will be displayed when the number is negative. A zero will be displayed simply as 0" I've fully tested this and it works perfectly... My previous two attempts had a bug when you entered a value like 14.0001... it would display 1' 2-0/1" This fixes that... so this is bug free. |

Hi,
I'll bet that was a lot of fun! I haven't checked it, but good work! You could replace (12*16) with simply 192 and (16) with 16. Make it a little shorter and would calculate faster.

Looks as if the format exceeds Excel 2003's function nesting limit.

Convert inches & display as Feet Inches and Fractions -- BUG F
Hi,
I got it to work in 2007 after removing the CR's and letting Excel make a correction some where? Here is the final working formula, which I modified a little bit: =IF(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)=ABS(C34)*16,"","~")&IF(OR (C340,ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)=0),"","(")&TRIM(IF(INT (ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)/192)=0,"",INT(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)/192)&"' ")&IF(AND(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)<0,MOD(ROUND(ABS(C3 4)*16,0),192)=0),"",TRIM(IF(AND(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16, 0)<0,INT(MOD(INT(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)),192)/16)=0),"",INT(MOD(INT(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)),192)/16)&IF(MOD(INT(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)),16)=0,"","-"))&IF(MOD(INT(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)),16)=0,"",TRIM (TEXT(MOD(INT(ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)),16)/16,"??/??")))&"""")))&IF(OR(C340,ROUND(ABS(C34)*16,0)=0) ,"",")") Anytime I see a formula of this length i'm tempted to use VBA.

It worked fine for me, just deleting the line feeds in the Excel function bar. Could you have run into a nesting limit with a pre-2007 version of Excel? By the way, I have found that when breaking formulas onto multiple lines, I will get an error if I try to separate the function name from the subsequent "(". --ron |
