Hello Everyone. I am trying to create a sum calculation that will ignore the inch symbol that is in a cell such as cell A1 = 42" and cell A2 = .25, I am trying to create a calculation without using vba that will ignore the inch symbol (") in cell A1 and just multiply the value of 42 times the value in cell A2. Is there a simple way to do this?

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
How about
Excel Formula:
=A2*SUBSTITUTE(A1,"""","")
