In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: For the purposes of this example, let's assume that the measurement you want to convert is in column A and you'd like to see the conversion results in column B (but really this method will work for any two columns). To label column A , click on cell A1 and type in the original unit (the one you'd like converted, e.g. inches, meters, or yards). This is also called the "from_unit." For example: click on cell A1 and type "Inches". In this example, we will convert 12 (number) inches (from_unit) to feet (to_unit). Excel's convert function converts a "from unit," into a "to-unit" (the unit you are converting the measurement to). Labeling your columns will help you organize your data. Click on cell B1. This will be your "to_unit" column. Type in the unit you are converting the measurement to. This is also called the "to_unit". For example: click on cell B1 and type "Feet". Type in the original measurement in numbers only. Do not enter in the units. For example: in cell A2, enter "12" (as in 12 inches). Functions in Excel are not case-sensitive. Typing "=CONVERT(" has the same result as typing "=convert(". Excel's convert function calls this value the "number". For example: "=Convert(A2" When you are converting a single measurement, as in the example above, It is also possible to type an actual number (not a cell reference) in this spot. Instead of "=Convert(A2", you would enter "=Covert(12". For example, your cell may now look like this: "=Convert(A2," or "=Convert(12,". " Now enter in the approved abbreviated form of the original unit. The "from_unit" is enclosed by a set of quotation marks and is followed by a comma. For example: "=Convert(A2, "in"," or "=Convert(12, "in",". Some approved unit abbreviations are "in" "cm" "ft" and "m". Excel provides a comprehensive list of unit abbreviations here. " Now enter in the approved abbreviation for the "to_unit." The "to_unit" is enclosed by a set of quotation marks followed by a closing parenthesis. For example, your cell should look something like: "=Convert(A2, "in", "ft")" or "=Convert(12, "in", "ft")". This example function will convert the contents of cell A2 from inches to feet. The converted measurement will appear in your cell (in this case, cell B2). For example: B2 will contain "1" (as in 1 foot). If the function returns the "#N/A" error, check the unit abbreviations again. Make sure the abbreviation is correct and that the two units belong to the same group (for example it is not possible to convert mass into length). Please note, unit names and prefixes ARE case-sensitive. If the function returns the "#VALUE!" error, this means you have entered the "number" incorrectly. Make sure you have only entered one value or cell reference.
Summary: Label column A with the original unit. Label column B. Enter your original measurement in cell A2. Type "=Convert(" in cell B2. Enter the name of the cell that contains the original measurement. Add a comma. Enter in the "from_unit. Enter in the "to_unit. Hit Enter to execute the function.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Your first step is to determine what it is you want to achieve. This can be a big change or small one, but taking some time to think about what you hope to achieve is an important first step to success. For example, is your goal to be a happier person? To learn to play an instrument? To get good at a sport? To be healthier? All of these are valid goals. It's up to you to decide what you want. Once you have a general sense of what you want, you need to start thinking about what these goals mean to you. One person's definition of a goal can be very different from another's. For example, if your goal is to be happier, you need to think about what happiness means to you. What does a happy life look like? What types of things will make you happy? This applies to less overreaching goals as well. If your goal is to learn to play guitar, what does that mean exactly to you? Will you be satisfied with knowing a few chords so people can sing along with you at parties? Or are you striving to be a classical concert guitarist? These are very different definitions of knowing how to play the guitar. It's important to take a little time to think about why you are setting the goals you've chosen. If you think about your motivations, you may find that you end up wanting to revise your goals. For example, imagine your goal is to learn to play the guitar. You stop and think about why, and you realize that it's because you think people who play the guitar are popular at school. This doesn't really suggest dedication to the guitar. It might be a good reason to stop and ask yourself if there's another, easier way to get what you really want, which is more social than musical. Last but not least, you need to decide if your goal is realistic. Sad as it may seem, not every dream can come true. If your goal seems beyond the realm of possibility, it might be time to make a different goal. Imagine you decide it is your dream to be the worlds greatest basketball player. That's a challenging goal for anyone to achieve, but it might be possible for some people. But, if you're only 5 feet (1.5m) tall, this goal is probably beyond your reach. This sets you up for failure and discouragement. You can still have fun playing basketball with your friends. But, if you're looking to be the best at a sport, you should probably focus on one where height isn't so important.
Summary:
Decide what you want. Define your terms. Ask why. Determine if it's possible.
