Hi Sharlene,
Convert to feet is
=CONVERT(1716,"mm","ft")
similar to inches, please check the function.
Result will be in digital format, if display as you mentioned please check https://excel-formulas.blogspot.com/2009/07/display-feet-and-inches-as-5-8-12.html. To display in inches apply custom fraction format
How do I convert ft and inches to just inches. Basically in my excel file height is written as "5'7" (with the apostrophe), and I have to convert it to inches. How do I do this since it's not in decimals either?
Slightly depends on notation. Exact five feet will be 5' or 5'0 (and never 5'0") ?
With 5'7 in A1:
=12*LEFT(A1,FIND("'",A1)-1)+MID(A1,FIND("'",A1)+1,2)
If you have Microsoft 365 you can also use
=SUMPRODUCT(TEXTSPLIT(A1,"'")*{12,1})
