Hello!
I am looking for a custom cell format, that turns the following coordinate format:
19.1258333333333° ; 47.4686111111111° [Long - Lat -WGS 84-]
Into this format:
019E07 33 ; 47N28 07
I was going to learn, how to create custom cell formats, but did not find relevant data on this subject.
I am going to use it on different excell documents, so I need it to be an easy to access, easy on use tool.

I am a newbie to this "advanced" use of excell, but I'm willing to learn it, please don't be harsh on me!
thanks!
(I'm using the 2016 office, if this matters)
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
What you have in that first cell is a string, not two numbers.
It would be best if you were to split that cell into 3 using TextToColumns.
First on a ; delimiter, then the right column of that result on a space delimiter.
Then you would need to clean up that data by removing the ° from those cells
Once your data is clean, you can refer to the components for downstream calculation and apply number formatting that works.
