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?

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})
