Converting Fraction that is in text form into decimal
 

Import data with fractions like this 44"1/16 so it reads it as text and not number. I need a formula to turn it into decimal numbers so I can use them in equations.

try:
=LEFT(A1,FIND("""",A1)-1)+MID(A1,FIND("""",A1)+1,FIND("/",A1)-FIND("""",A1)-1)/MID(A1,FIND("/",A1)+1,2)

you can also try it with an UDF.
Copy the code into a standard module:

Function Deci(myRng As Range) As Double
Dim varData As Variant
Dim varTmp As Variant

varData = Split(myRng, """")
varTmp = Split(varData(1), "/")
Deci = varData(0) + varTmp(0) / varTmp(1)
End Function

and call the function on the sheet with e.g.

=Deci(A1)
