Hi I have a large excel spreadsheet which contains heights of different athletes in the form of
6' 4.25"
6' 2.75"
I am stuck on trying to find a single formula that can convert all of these heights to strictly inches.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Because these are string text and not actual numbers we need to parse the data. The following will grab the parts of the string and convert to the number:
=LEFT(A1, FIND("'",A1)-1)*12 + MID(A1,FIND("'",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-FIND("'",A1)-1)
