To simplify some mathematical calculations, you may want to express angular measurements in degrees and decimal fractions of degrees. This article contains a sample custom function you can use to convert a degree value stored in decimal format, to DMS stored in text format, and a sample function...
However, the coordinates must be in decimal format for it to work. Here’s what you’ll need to do if the lat/long coordinates on your data were in DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds) format. 1. In this example, the Latitude is written on column B, while the Longitude is in col...
