Hi, I work at a energy company where I need to paste value of system sizes, for eg. 8.73MW . I used formula: =LEFT(G5,LEN(G5)-2) to remove the 'MW'. And used IF to see if value is below 30, multipl...

Hi ecovonrein , I think I missed out something on what I meant in the chat above. The values taken can also be in kW. So for some instances can be for e.g. 4.7MW or can also be 880kW. But I want to create it such that any value M or k is converted to kW only. So if 4.7MW becomes 4700kW while 880kW remains as it is.
