Morning all,
I hope someone can help me with some formulas that I cannot seem to fathom out.
In the UK we measure our railways in miles and chains usually written as M-Ch.
1 mile = 80 chains.
What I an trying to do is calculate differences between two points.
Example:
Station A 30-40
Station B 35-60
Answer being 5-20
The way I have done is in the past is quite long winded so I am hoping someone can help get this down to something more simplistic.
Cell A9 has the value 35.
Cell B9 has the value 40
Cell A10 has the value 30.
Cell B10 has the value 20.
Cell C9 has the formula =sum(B9/80)
Cell D9 has the formula =sum(A9,C9)
Cell C10 has the formula =sum(B10/80)
Cell D10 has the formula =sum(A10,C10)
Cell D11 has the formula =sum(D9-D10) thus giving me the answer (in decimal)
Now is the bit I am really stuck on.
How to convert back to Miles and chains from decimal?
Or is there a bettwe way to do the original calculations ?
