Seperating Feet, inches and fractions

[JDay]

When I measure a students height, I document that height in total inches and
any remaining fraction of an inch. Can I in a different workbook design a
formula that'll separate each the number of feet, then inches and then any
remaining fraction of an inch?

 

[Niek Otten]

Can you give examples of how exactly you enter the height?

If the height is in A1, then in B1 enter:
=A1/12
In C1 enter:
=INT(B1)&"' "&INT(12*(B1-INT(B1)))&""" "&TEXT(MOD(12*(B1-INT(B1)),1),"##/##")

If I record 68.25 inches, what I would like is in separate columns is: (%)
Feet and (8) inches and 1/4 inch

If I record 68.25 inches, what I would like is in separate columns is: (5)

Assuming the format you showed is how you want the output to look, maybe
this variation on Gary''s Student's formula....

="("&INT(B1/12)&") Feet ("&MOD(INT(B1),12)&") Inches
"&TEXT(MOD(B1,1),"##/##")&" Inch"

If your height, 68.25 is in cell A1. Then in cell B1 put =INT(A1/12) to get
feet, then in cell C1 put =INT(A1-B1*12) to get inches and in cell D1 put
=A1-B1*12-C1 to get the fraction of an inch
