With a Windows 11 PC, you can convert units in a number of different methods. On a Windows 11 computer, you can convert metric and imperial units using this method. The process of changing the units of measurement to the same amount is known as conversion and is usually accomplished by multiplying the conversion factors. This means that the conversion process depends on the circumstance and the objective. Here is the article to convert measurements easily in Microsoft Excel.
2 Ways to Easily Convert Measurements in Microsoft Excel
Entering a conversion function manually
Step 1: Label column A with the original unit. For the purposes of this example, let’s assume that the measure you want to convert is in column A and you would like to see the results of the conversion in column B (but really this method will work for any two columns). To label column A , click cell A1 and enter the original unit (the one you want to convert to, for example inches, meters, or yards). This is also called “of_unit.”
Step 2: Label column B. Click cell B1. This will be your “to_unit” column. Enter the unit you are converting the measurement to. This is also called “to_unit”.
Step 3: Enter your original measurement in cell A2. Enter the original measurement in numbers only. Do not enter the units.
Step 4: Model “=Convert(” in cell B2.
Step 5: Enter the name of the cell that contains the original measurement. Excel’s convert function calls this value a “number”.
Step 6: Add comma.
Step 7: Type the “from_unit.” Now type in the approved abbreviated form of the original unit. The “from_unit” is enclosed in quotes and is followed by a comma.
Step 8: Get in on “to_unit.” Now enter the approved abbreviation for “to_unit”. The “to_unit” is delimited by a set of quotes followed by a closing parenthesis.
Step 9: Press Enter to run the function. The converted measurement will appear in your cell (in this case, cell B2).
Inserting a Conversion Function with Formula Builder
Step 1: Label column A. For the purposes of this example, let’s assume the measure you want to convert is in column A and you would like to see the results of the conversion in column B (but in reality this method will work for any two columns) . Click on cell A1 and enter the original unit (to which you want to convert, for example seconds, hours or days). This is also called “from_unit”.
Step 2: Label column B. Click cell B1. This will serve as your “to_unit” column. Enter the unit you are converting the measurement to.
Step 3: Enter your original measurement in cell A2. Enter the original measurement in numbers only. Do not enter the units.
Step 4: open the“Formula Builder”. Instead of entering the conversion function manually, you can use Excel formula builder to help you create the formula.
Step 5: Enter the name of the cell (letter followed by a number) that contains the original measurement in the “number” text box. Excel’s conversion function calls this value a “number”.
Step 6: Insert the original drive into the “from_unit” text box. Enter in the approved short form of the original unit.
Step 7: Type “to_drive”. Enter the approved abbreviation for “to_unit”.
Step 8: Press Enter to run the function. The converted measurement will appear in your cell (in this case, cell B2).
