- Spreadsheet to Convert values within the following systems:
-
- - Exchange rates / currency
- - Temperatures
- - Distance
- - Weight & Volume
- - Liquids
- - Energy
- - Area
- - Time
- - Frequency
- - Speed
- - Transfer speed
- - Resistance
- - Capacity
- - bits and bytes
-
- On top of the spreadsheet are four individual conversion sections.
- The first two sections are used for simple conversions
- (Just fill in measurement from value, and from/to abbreviations.)
- The next section is for adding together values of different types,
- (f.ex. 5 USD + 100 XEU + 10 GPB = 879.07 DKR.)
- and the last section is used for splitting up values
- (f.ex. 163.56 cm = 5 ft + 4.39 in )
-
- After entering an abbreviation, the full name is printed, to confirm
- that it can be found. If it cannot be found, "(?????)" is shown instead.
-
- Where there is a different value for US and Brittan/Canada,
- the default is US. Prefix "uk " to get the other value
- (f.ex. 1 'hw' = 45.36 kg (hundredweight (US))
- and 1 'uk hw' = 50.8032 kg (hundredweight (UK&Can)))
- I may also decide to, at a later time, produce a version that defaults
- to using UK values.
-
- The exchange rates are placed at top, to be easy to change.
- It may be easiest to fill in all the currencies from a newspaper.
- Note that your own currency should be set to 100.00
-
- If you find a lot of units, that you would never use, you might want
- to remove them from the list to speed up calculations (you could keep
- the original under another name if you want to)
- When adding and removing lines, make sure that you do not change
- the index in column A, i.e. shift up/down columns B-E only.
- If you should find any missing wrong values, I would be happy to know,
- so that I can make the change available to others.
