Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
Try this:

=INT(A1/12)&"' "&TRIM(TEXT(MOD(A1,12),"# ??/32"))&CHAR(34)

Works Great! Do you have an add on if A1 is blank show nothing instead of 0'0" in B1

Hello,
The formula is what I am looking for but would like the final figure to be rounded to the nearest inch so eg 6.653543307' with last formula would return 6' 7 5/6" but I would like it rounded to the nearest inch so, in this case, looking for 6' 8". If a returning figure was 6' 7 1/6" I would like in round to 6' 7".
Hope someone can help.
Thanks.
Kevin

I think this formula will do it...

=INT(A1)+(12*MOD(A1,1)>=11.5)&"'"&IF(12*MOD(A1,1)>=11.5,0,ROUND(12*MOD(A1,1),0))&""""

Note: I am assuming that foot-mark (the apostrophe) on your decimal foot value is not really in the cell, rather, I assume it is there from a cell format.
