adding feet and inches
I am trying to set up a spread sheet to calculate inventory. I need to add
some items in feet and some in inches. I need to know first do I set these up at 2 columns one for feet and one for inches ( eg 5'-6" would be in two seperate columns) and I also need to know how to add the feet and inches together to know the total feet and inches that I have in stock.. Help please! -- Donna

Correct, you either need to input as two columns(A & B?), or use decimals
(i.e., 5'6" inputed as 5.5 Former solution formula, result in inches: =SUM(A1:A100)*12+SUM(B1:B100) Result in ft: =SUM(A1:A100)+SUM(B1:B100)/12 If you use decimals, its a straightforward sum. -- Best Regards, Luke M *Remember to click "yes" if this post helped you!* "Tacklemom" wrote: I am trying to set up a spread sheet to calculate inventory.

Another way is to format the cells as fractions and us 5 6/12.
