    Format cell to convert inches to feet

    Is there a cell format that will convert inches to feet & inches?

    I can do it with vba, but a cell format would be cleaner.

    I need to convert 600 inches to 50' 0

    or 604 inches to 50' 4

    Thanks.

    I don't think there is a format, but a calculation?

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =INT(A1/12)&"'  "&TRIM(TEXT(A1-INT(A1/12)*12,"# ???/???"))&""""

    Thanks for replying. I know the calculations and vba to do it, but was hoping someone had stumbled on a cell format.

    .

    This might help you.

    =CONVERT(600;"in";"ft")

    =CONVERT(604;"in";"ft")

    And cell custom format:

    ####,00"'"

    .

    Available number format codes: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...2-09fab54be7f4

    I am not aware of a number format that will display a value in inches as feet inches.
    From a fractional feet number, I have used a format code like 0 0/12 to display feet and inches (as a fraction of a foot), but that still requires you to convert your inches to feet, and I suspect many would be less than satistified with the fraction/12.
    I would expect that something like davesexcel's text output is going to be the easiest way to get exactly what you are requesting.

    I know you don't want a formula but for anyone else that might...

    =INT(A1/12)&"' "&MOD(A1,12)&""""

    Assumes the inch value will always be an integer.
