Sergei Baklan : your set out to part of the question ... again worked well ... thank you With 133'18.5 in F3, the formula to convert it to a regular number is
=LEFT(F3,FIND("'",F3)-1)+MID(F3,FIND("'",F3)+1,10)/32
With 133.56 in L3, the formula to convert it to US Treasury notation is
=INT(L3)&"'"&MROUND(MOD(L3,1)*32,0.5)
Also not correct. If without rounding it returns 123.5645, but it shall be
Price conversion between fractional and decimal notation (iotafinance.com)
0.5625 corresponds to 18/32, so it ignores the .5 at the end...
That returns 133.58. I'm not familiar with fractional notation, my guess for 123'18.5 123 is taken as it is, next two is fraction of 32 and the rest is fraction of 256, i.e.
=ROUND(LEFT(A1,SEARCH("'",A1)-1) + MID(A1,SEARCH("'",A1)+1,2)/32+RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1)-SEARCH("'",A1)-2)/256,2)which returns 123.56
If that is the intention, it is better indeed. Thanks!
