If then statements

[adunlap13]

Hi,

I am having trouble getting the correct formula to work for the below data set. My goal is to remove the two left characters from the cell and then calculate the number via a simple division formula. Basically, I'd like to be able to remove the MB or GB and then calculate it based on the letters. If the number is MB then it will need to be divided by 1024 and if it is GB it can be left how it is. My assumption is that I need to pull out the letters into the adjacent cell then write an IF THEN statement to calculate.

[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]12,365.986MB[/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]

Thanks for your help in advance!
