    Re: Multiple data in one cell

    A1 : 31
    B1 : 41
    c1 : =A1*B1

    .......... but because you are mixing text and numbers you need :-
    =TRIM(LEFT(A1,FIND("x",A1,1)-1)) * MID(A1,B1+1,FIND("""",A1,1)-FIND("x",A1,1)-1)
    Elegant Simplicity............. Not Always

    Re: Multiple data in one cell

    =left(a1,2) gives a result of 31
    =mid(a1,6,2) gives a result of 41
    31*41=1271

    Re: Multiple data in one cell

    sir can i have ur email id i want to send the screen shots and the calculation of paper formula as we deal wid paper industry

    if the size of the paper is in CMS :

    L X B X GSM / 1,00,000 = ( ANSWER ) * NO OF SHEETS PER PKT

    IE, BY DEFAULT WE GET WEIGHT FOR 100 SHEETS IF IT IS 250 SHEETS PER PKT WE MULTIPLY 2.5 WITH W=THE ANSWER

    if the size of the is in INCHES :

    L X B X GSM / 15,500 = ( ANSWER ) * NO OF SHEETS PER PKT
