Hey Pete_uk,
No idea why it's not coming up.

My reply was as follows,

That would be amazing! The first cell this needs to applied to is D5 and the
same column D.

Thank you in advance

It will be a complex formula (almost finished), but to avoid problems
with converting cell references can you tell me which is the first
cell that this will apply to in your sheet, eg F2, and which column
you want the formula to go into? Then I can give you the exact formula
which you will be able to copy/paste into your sheet.

Morning,

We have a program that exports a table from Auto-cad to Excel, using a
program called TableBuilder. It exports using feet, inches and fractions eg
6'-5 1/2" or 4'-0".

I'm looking for a way to convert this to inches and decimal points and all
the -, ', " removed.
for example 6'-5 1/2" will be 77.5 and 4'-0" will be 48

Any ideas? It's a huge spreadsheet and doing each conversion individually
will drive me nuts.

Cheers in advance

Dee

Hi Dee,

I was eventually able to see your posting and adjusted the formula to
suit - I've replied to your original thread. Note that the line breaks
occur wherever there is a space between double-quotes, i.e. at " " in
the formula.

Hope this helps.
