FORMULA FOR CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT

B

Boyertown Casket

Is there a formula available to allow me to place a Celsius temperature
(numeric equivalent) in a cell and it returns that number as a Fahrenheit
temperature?

I would like to input 2 (as in 2 o C) and have the answer be returned as:
35.6 o F
The degree symbol needs to be superscript.

Thank you.

You could use

=CONVERT(A1,"C","F")

Format the cell using Format/Cell/Number/Custom 0.0°F


Or you could just use the simple formula:

= A1 * 9/5 + 32

Thank you for your response as another option.

Question: Although I followed what was given, my answer displays #NAME?

This is what I did: Cell a1 is my input and cell b1 contains the formula:
=CONVERT(a1,"C","F")&"°F"

b1 returns #NAME?

Will you explain what I am doing incorrectly. Do the cells need to be
formatted in any manner?

Thanks.

CONVERT() in pre-XL07 versions is part of the Analysis Toolpak Add-in
that you can install (Tools/Add-ins...).

Alternatively, you can just use the formula I posted before:

=A1 * 9/5 + 32

which works in all versions.
