Convert
is a useful function
in many areas and helps to convert numerical data from one measurement
system into another. For example, the weatherman may like to convert
temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit to temperatures in degrees
Centigrade. Sometimes you may like to convert miles into metres or
square feet into square metres. We may observe a weight in pounds and
since you are using the metric system you may like to know the weight
of the object in Kilograms. Convert can perform many more such
conversions and thus provide help not only to the common man but also
students, engineers, etc.
=CONVERT(2,"lbm","kg") - converts pounds to
kilograms
=CONVERT(78,"F","C") - converts degrees Fahrenheit to degrees
Centigrade
=CONVERT(2,"mi","km") - miles are converted to kilometres
=CONVERT(100,"J","cal") - Joules to calories
=CONVERT(5,"HP","W") - Horse Power to Watt
