converting survey angles to decimals

D

I need to convert from 50d35'25" (survey instrument notation of an angle) to
the decimal equivalent of 50.59027778. Is there a function that will
automatically convert this? If not, any suggestions of a formula?

Try this:

=VALUE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C1,"d",":"),"'",":"),"""",""))*24

format cells as General
