    Multiplying measurements from the same cell

    Hi everyone,

    Hopefully a couple of nice easy ones for you all on a Friday.

    1) Within a single cell I have a measurement - 150mm(w) x 300mm(h). I wish to multiply each one of these values by a different number eg 150x5 and 300x6.

    How would I do this with a formula? - I am having trouble getting the formula to recognise the 150 and 300as individual numbers

    2) Within another single cell I have another measurement 28x10. How do I multiply these two numbers together in a second cell without having to input them manually.

    Thanks a lot

    For #1 how are the 5 and 6 entered? Are they in their own cells? How is the result to be displayed?

    For #2
