CONVERT_ADD

Converts a number from one measurement system to another.

This function is only available if the Analysis AddIn is installed.

Syntax:

CONVERT_ADD(number; originalunits; newunits)

number is the number to be converted.
originalunits and newunits are text representing the original and new measurement systems. These are case-sensitive, and must be selected from the table below. Units in bold accept an optional prefix as a decimal multiplier from the table below that.

The above units may be preceded by a decimal multiplier. For example k (kilo) is the prefix for 103 - so km means kilometers. If the unit is a measure of area the multiplier is squared, and if it is a measure of volume the multiplier is cubed. For example km2 means square kilometers, that is 106 square meters. The following table lists the prefixes:
prefix < 1 y (10-24), z (10-21), a (10-18), f (10-15), p (10-12), n (10-9), u (10-6), m (10-3), c (10-2), d (10-1)
prefix > 1 e (101), h (102), k (103), M 106), G (109), T (1012), P (1015), E (1018), Z (1021), Y (1024)

Example:

CONVERT_ADD(120;"in";"ft")

returns 10, the number of feet in 120 inches.

CONVERT_ADD(10;"yd";"cm")

returns 914.4, that is 10 yards expressed in centimeters.

Issues:

  • For historical reasons, many of the units do not use international standard abbreviations.
  • This function is not generally compatible with other spreadsheets.
