Feet and Inches formula

Is there an easy formula for converting cell values from Inches to non-decimal Feet & Inches? I can get feet and decimals, but '8.3333' isn't as intuitive for the applications I'm using the spreadsheet for!

If you start with a decimal number of inches in cell B2, you can convert it into feet and inches with the following formula:
=TRUNC(B2/12)&"ft "&MOD(B2,12)&"in"

Height in feet and inches

I have a string value for height in the database that I would like split out into feet and inches. For example the value right now is 66, 65, etc...

Hi Curt,
If Unit of measure is CM then use below logic
(totext(({Database_cm}* 0.0328084),0)) & " Fts "&Tonumber((Split(totext({Database_.cm}* 0.032808,5),".")[2])) *0.00012 & " Inches"
If Unit of measure is in Meters then You need to convert meters to CM by using below formula
{Meters_field}/100

Feet and inches ' and "

I have an application that requires height in feet/inches.
Obviously php/mysql will have an issue with something like 6'2"
because of the ' and ". What they best way to handle this so I can
still express it this way... or is it not worth it and just use
feet and inches, the words?

I would store the value as inches:

convert=function(input){
x=input.split(/[^\d]/);
return x[0]*12+ +x[1];

Converting feet and inches to pixels

I design Video Content for live shows. Often my set designer comes up with bizarre screen sizes. I am looking for a simple app that converts feet and inches into pixels. I want to be able to determine the pixel equivilent of his screen dimensions so that I can create a mask. I have done this using Photoshop, but it would be so much easier if I could simple input the dimensions and then get my results.
Here's a typical size he would give me...8' by 100 yards ( I know that's insane) or 37' by 17 '
Any help would be apprecitated

Johnny,
Trust me ... I'm no mathematical wizard or
technoguru, but it seems that as long as you know the
aspect ratio of the screen you need to fill and you
match that, the actual pixel dimensions would be more
of a issue of the display device (a projector, I'm
assuming).
For example, I output 720 x 480 (NTSC DV) to tape or
640 x 480 (DVD-Video) all the time that is later
projected on a variety of different sized screens.
If the screen is a 4:3 aspect ratio, my video fills
the screen if the projector is positioned correctly
and the right lens is used.

Thanks for the replies guys.
The problem is that he never gives me ratios, he just gives me stratight sizes.
I build these in 720 x 480 and they are sent through some unexplicable beta/do-ray-me configuration to output on giant LED walls. The resolution doesn't matter. This strange output configuration only reads my video the same as if I was outputting straight from FCP.
On one job he gave me the simple 16:9 ratio and I simply put a 16:9 matte on everything within a 720 x 480 using Joe's Filter Beta "Joe’s Aspect Matte RT".
That was easy. What gets tricky is when he gives me some strange size like
37 feet high by 6 feet wide. Is there an easy way to figure out this ratio and then build it within 720 x 480 using a matte. If I knew the pixel numbers of 37' by 6' I could just adjust my matte accordingly.

Conver feet and inches to meters

I'm writing a program that calculates BMI of a person,
but i have some problems trying to extract feet and inches after the user enter their height, you know what I mean?
is something like this, the program prompts user to enter the height (ft'in") so if the person enters something like this 5'6" I have to extract feet and inches and then convert them to meters. I'mm trying to use the StringTokenizer, but I know I;m doing something wrong,
Can anyone help me please?
thank you,

Conversion from "feet to inches"to"meter and centimeters"

hi,
i need this answer urgently!!!!
i'm trying to write a java program that reads lenghts in feets and inches(or meters and centimeters(or feet and inches). the program askes the user if he/she wants to convert from "feet to inches" to "meters and centimeters" or from "feet to inches". The program then preforms the desired conversion.having the user respond by typing the integer 1 for one type of conversion and 2 for the other conversion.The program reads the user's answer and then executes an if-else-statement. each branch of the if-else statement will be a function call. Include a loop that lets the user repeat this computation for new input values until the user says he or she wants to end the program. Use as many method that are logically needed. The main method should do as little as possible.

I love these questions - especially the little bits at the end that clearly point out it is a homework question.
As joeldi says, show us that you've had a decent go at it and we'll be more interested in helping out.

Tim

Converting feet to inches

I need to conver feet to inches, in my code, I am picking up feet and inches in the input file, and need to convert it all to inches on the output file, for example, a person is 5 07, this needs to be converted to 67 inches....Any suggestions

So your project is really all about reading text from one file, and writing text to another file right? In that case, you should think about how your program handles the input. Most input comes in the form of a java.lang.String (but not always, depends on your InputStream), then your program needs to convert those String values into int values before you can use the mathematical formulas given above. Then depending on the OutputStream, you may or may not need to convert int back to String or whatever.

Convert Feet and Inch to cm (and vice versa)

I need some help with conversion of height. The form was designed by the department and there is a field where one need to enter the height of the participant.
The height can either be in cm or in Feet + Inches (not just inches). Once a value has been entered in cm, it converts it automatically to feet and inches. If the user enter the height in feet and inches, it converts it immediately into cm. Much like the kg to lbs conversion fields in the attached document. I have been able to convert the height in cm into Feet and inches e.g. 165 cm = 5'5". However I am not sure how to do the opposite.
The problem is the way it has been designed as there is a box for Feet and another box for Inches. If the other measure was in Inches only, it would have been easier and that would be like the kg to lbs conversion.
I have tried multiple way to try to the conversion, but none would do it exactely like the kg to lbs conversion.
Here is the form:
https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=j8kksFor3eVIg6M07CdkmA

I tried the following code, but obviously does not work. The problem reside in the fact that I have to reunite 2 fields to get the height in cm and am not sure how to handle that.
var v1 = (function () {
    var f_source = getField("Feet");
    var result;
    if (event.source && event.source === f_source) {
        result = f_source * 30.48 ;
        event.value = result == 0 ? "" : util.printf("%.0f", result);
var v2 = (function () {
    var f_source = getField("Inches");
    var result;
    if (event.source && event.source === f_source) {
        result = +f_source * 2.54 ;
        event.value = result == 0 ? "" : util.printf("%.0f", result);
event.value = v1 + v2;

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

CS6 Camera Raw - I can now only crop using aspect ratio in the custom crop setting rather than being able to set the dims in cm and inches? anyone know how to revert? ever since installing new mac operating system things have been strange!

Hi Kglad.
I have looked at all of my settings both in Bridge and CS6 Photoshop regarding Camera Raw. I am at a loss how to set the crop tool in cm or inches as I once did - now the only option is to crop using ratios of 1:1 etc etc - This is infuriating as lots of my square crops I could set at 10" x 10'' specifically to print one to one to fit frame and mount size -
Now if cropping using bloody aspect ratio of 1:1 (square) the actual dims of the crop are roughly 4.25 inches x 4.25 inches. this means I then have to open the whole image in photoshop in order to crop at the dims I have set! It was so much quicker in terms of batch cropping in camera raw being able to set dims in centimetres and inches but they have gone and mucked around with it, with the new bloody update! Unless you are an absolute genius and know how I can go back to having an option of CM, Inches and aspect ratio within the custom crop settings? (Please say you do)
here is the new tutorial for CC - my guess is they have scrapped the control we had over the custom crop settings

How to copy and paste formulas between documents in numbers 3.0?

I am unable to copy and paste formulas between 2 documents in numbers 3.0?

Hi Hans,
I can get a reference error here if the destination table does not have that range available while the source table does.
Are you sure your desination table has exactly the same structure and dimensions as your source table?
If it does, copy/paste via the Formula Editor should work. It works reliably here.
Also the formula in your latest post looks as if it might be corrupted-- lots of extra spaces (it seems). Did your orginal formula have those?
To sort this out, suggest turning off 'Use header names as labels' in Preferences.
If you end up with a formula in a cell as just Text (as Ian describes that's what happens when you copy from Numbers 2) you can convert that text to a formula by double-clicking the cell, clicking just before the text so that the insertion point appears in front of it and typing =. That activates the Formula Editor with the formula in it, which you can accept by clicking the green checkmark or hitting return.

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?
For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted... How can I do this without distorting the formula?

Thanks for the feedback.
If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
CAUTION
Download them while they are available.
Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
Searching infos in the iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

Row and Column Formulas on a Data Form

I am creating a data form which has both row and column formulas. I would like the row formulas to show for some of the cells but it seems to default to the column formula.
How can I get my form to show the row formula result and not the column formula result?
Thank you!

Diff between Calculated key figure and new formula 6extra functions why

Hi Friends
In BEx query designer we have Restricted key figure & Calculated key figure. In the case of Ristricted Key figure And new selection the difference is Global and local.
But if we come to Calculated Key figure and New Formula the difference is same global and local. But in New formula we have 6 extra function. My question is does is there any certain reason for this or SAP AG not be able to develop those functions
Thganks & Regards

Hi Surendra thank you for your reply.
But i am not asking difference between calculated key figure and New formula.

Difference between aggregation rule and column formula in edit formula

Anybody please help what is the use of aggregation rule and column formula in edit column option.
What is the difference if I apply sum in aggregation rule with apply sum(column name) in column formula.
When do I need use which one.
Thanks in advance

When you build a column in the rpd, you have the option of determining if the column should be aggregated in some way or not. For dimension columns, you wouldn't put aggregation. For say, an accoun ledger balance column, you might put the aggregation SUM or AVERAGE. Whatever aggregation you put on this column will be the "default" aggregation of the column in Answers.
So in Answerrs, if you use the Account Ledger Balance column and you only have Region as the dimension, OBIEE will aggregate or SUM the ledger balances so you have a SUM for the region level. If you had district, than the ledger balance column will aggregate to the district level. This is a convenient way to build reports without having to specify what the aggregation should be.
However, OBIEE gives you the ability to override what the default aggregation is for a particular column. This is the purpose of the drop down in the bottom left of a column when you click the fx button.
Say the default aggregation of ledger balance is SUM in the rpd, but for the report you are building, you want the average, you can apply the AVERAGE function in the fx window and it will overridge the SUM aggregation rule that was in the rpd.
Got it?

I use a GoPro 960 30. When I use imovie it cuts off the feet and the head

I am using a GoPro at 960 30
When i use imovie it cuts off the feet and the head.
how do I prevent that?

Here are some things to check.
If possible, set the aspect ratio of your project to the same aspect ratio as your camera. This will be either 16:9 or 4:3.
If your clips or photos are not the same as your project's aspect ratio, you can select a project clip and
click on the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns Tool. FIT will make the movie fill out the screen by Letterboxing. Crop will cut off the edges to fill the screen.
Finally, you may have analyzed for stabilization, and then had stabilization automatically applied in your project. Stabilization works by zooming in. You can select a project clip and open the Clip Inspector. You can turn off stabilization, or you can move the slider so there is less zoom.
