convert function

The convert function tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of Microsoft Excel's CONVERT function, which converts measurements in place while keeping the original number, its units, and the calculated result together in one cell. Rather than copying values into a search engine for each conversion, spreadsheet users can build reusable tables where input and output units sit in separate columns and a single formula handles every row. Coverage focuses on practical workflow benefits such as repeatability and easier updates, and it stresses that the real work shifts from hunting down conversion factors to recording the correct unit codes.
