Did you know that Excel can convert numbers from one measurement system to another measurement system? Yes you can with the?CONVERT Formula! You will be surprised at what units it can convert for you!
Key Takeaways
-
Convert Units Easily – The
CONVERTfunction allows you to switch between different measurement units, such as length, weight, temperature, and more. - Wide Range of Unit Types – Supports conversions for distance (meters to miles), weight (grams to pounds), time (seconds to minutes), and many other categories.
-
Syntax Simplicity – The formula structure is
=CONVERT(number, from_unit, to_unit), making it easy to use. - Unit Abbreviations Are Key – Each unit has a specific abbreviation (e.g., “m” for meters, “km” for kilometers), and incorrect abbreviations will result in an error.
- Enhances Data Accuracy – Instead of manually converting measurements, the formula ensures precise unit conversion, reducing human error.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the CONVERT function in Excel?
The CONVERT function is used to change a value from one unit of measurement to another, such as feet to meters or Celsius to Fahrenheit.
Why is my CONVERT formula not working?
Check if you are using the correct unit abbreviations. If the unit is unsupported or misspelled, Excel will return an error.
Can the CONVERT function handle currency conversions?
No, the CONVERT function does not support currency conversion. You will need real-time exchange rate data for that.
How do I convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit in Excel?
Use the formula =CONVERT(temperature, "C", "F"), replacing “temperature” with your actual value.
Can I use the CONVERT function with custom units?
No, the function only works with predefined unit types available in Excel. Custom conversions require separate calculations or VBA scripting.
