It&#8217;s a handy tool for converting various types of units, such as length, volume, temperature, and more, directly in your Excel worksheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Syntax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CONVERT(number, from_unit, to_unit)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Arguments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>number<\/strong><\/td><td>The value you want to convert.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>from_unit<\/strong><\/td><td>The current unit of measurement for the value.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>to_unit<\/strong><\/td><td>The unit of measurement to which you want to convert the value.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the CONVERT function, follow this simple syntax:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=CONVERT(number, from_unit, to_unit)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a practical example: let&#8217;s say you have a length in inches (from_unit) and you want to convert it to centimeters (to_unit). The formula would look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=CONVERT(A1, \"in\", \"cm\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This will convert the value in cell A1 from inches to centimeters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optional: If you have a measurement that might be optional (for example, if you don&#8217;t always have a &#8220;from_unit&#8221;), you can enclose it in square brackets and specify that it&#8217;s optional in the explanation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s see a few examples of how you can use the CONVERT function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=CONVERT(100, \"mi\", \"km\")  ' Converts 100 miles to kilometers\n=CONVERT(32, \"\u00b0F\", \"\u00b0C\")   ' Converts 32 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius\n=CONVERT(500, \"gal\", \"L\")  ' Converts 500 gallons to liters<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>These examples demonstrate how you can convert different units using the CONVERT function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you encounter unfamiliar units or terms, you can refer to external resources or websites for definitions and explanations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CONVERT function in Excel is used to convert a value from one measurement unit to another.
