person's height format

[Logan]

Is there a way to format a cell so you only have to type
the numbers for a person's height as in 5 8, and the ' "
will automatically fill in?

Thanks

Once you put the space in, the entry becomes text and cell formatting
doesn't work well with text.

You could enter 58 (5' 8") or 610 (6' 10") using this custom cell format:

[<100]#' #'';#' ##\"

or to treat 5 as 5'

[<10]#';[<100]#' #'';#' ##\"

That works for me.

Thanks Tom
