Feet and Inches Format in Numbers

What would be the correct way to type feet and inches (not decimal form), in a cell in Numbers? I would like to add them up too.

Example:

A1- 5’7”

A2- 6’1”

A3- 5’8”

A4- the total of A1 thru A3

Hi Jed,


Use a column for feet and another column for inches.

I have added a Header row and a Header column for labels.



Formula in D2: IF(OR(B2="",C2=""),"",B2&"'"&C2&"""")

Fill down to Row 5.



Formula in B5: SUM(B2:B4)

Fill right to C5


Now to convert the totals to real feet and inches.



Formula in B6: B5+INT(B5÷12)



Formula in C6: MOD(C5,12)


Another example



Regards,

Ian.
