Default using the 'Convert' function

According to Google, 1 cubic meter = 35.3146667 cubic feet.

So, I guess you'd simply multiply the cm by 35.3146667 and use some
rounding. To 2 decimal places?

A1 = cm = 10
B1 = 35.3146667

=A1*B1 = 353.146667

=ROUND(A1*B1,2) = 353.15

CONVERT function will not do this.

1 CBM = 35.31467 FT3

Formula................

=cbm * 36.31457

1 foot = 0.3048 m, so the formula you need is =A1/(0.3048^3)
