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?
