Here's an insight: "The increase of demand, besides, though in the beginning it may sometimes raise the price of goods, never fails to lower it in the long run. It encourages production, and thereby increases the competition of the producers, who, in order to undersell one another, have...

You can use the following equation: =LEFT(A1,3)+RIGHT(A1,2)/32 The only problem is that not all values will be XXX'XX. You can also have values like 90'5 (90 5/32) I think the following equation should work: =LEFT(A1,FIND("'",A1)-1)+RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("'",A1))/32

So why do you play this zero sum game? Every dollar you make you are taking away from somebody else. You greedy capitalist pig!

JK means just kidding.

A team effort.

He'll know even more after he creates the next Great Depression. JK

Desperate times call for desparate measures?
