Excel Tutorial – CONVERT

The CONVERT function in Microsoft Excel is a useful tool for converting a value from one unit of measurement to another. This can be helpful for tasks such as data analysis or creating reports.

Here’s how to use the CONVERT function:

1. Open a blank Excel spreadsheet.
2. In the cell where you want to display the result of the CONVERT function, type the following formula: =CONVERT(value, from_unit, to_unit)
3. Replace “value” with the cell reference or value that you want to convert. For example, if the value is in cell A1, you would enter A1 in place of “value”.
4. Replace “from_unit” with the unit of measurement for the value you are converting. For example, if the value is in inches, you would enter “in” in place of “from_unit”.
5. Replace “to_unit” with the unit of measurement you want to convert the value to. For example, if you want to convert the value to centimeters, you would enter “cm” in place of “to_unit”.
6. Press Enter to calculate the result. The result will be the value converted to the new unit of measurement.

The CONVERT function supports a wide range of units of measurement, including length, weight, volume, and temperature. Here are a few examples of how you might use the CONVERT function:

• Convert 3 inches to centimeters: =CONVERT(3, “in”, “cm”)
• Convert 5 pounds to kilograms: =CONVERT(5, “lb”, “kg”)
• Convert 2 quarts to liters: =CONVERT(2, “qt”, “L”)
• Convert 75 degrees Fahrenheit to Celsius: =CONVERT(75, “F”, “C”)
