X-Kilt Excel Spreadsheet

[James MacMillan]

Then have a seperate cell converting inches into metric then input result in cm. Problem with imperial to begin with is having to convert a fraction into a decimal so that Excel understands. Metric is so much easier to work with (then again when working with wood I'm always working in inches, go figure ).

I've been told that the current finished dimensions of the common 2 by 4 is really metric..........????

A 2 x 4 is dressed and the actual dimensions are 1½ x 3½" that would equal 3.8 x 8.5 cm. Metric is easy, it's based on units of 10 - 10mm = 1cm, 10cm = 1dm, 10dm = 1m, 1000m = 1km. Units of 10 people and I can even figure it out with my 9 ½ fingers (fly being open is a necessity though).
