<h1>CONVERT Function</h1>
|
|
<p>The <b>CONVERT</b> function is one of the engineering functions. It is used to convert a number from one measurement system to another. For example, CONVERT can translate a table of distances in miles to a table of distances in kilometers.</p>
|
|
<p>The <b>CONVERT</b> function syntax is:</p>
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>CONVERT(number, from_unit, to_unit)</em></b></p>
|
|
<p><em>where</em></p>
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>number</em></b> is the value to be converted,</p>
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>from_unit</em></b> is the original measurement unit. A text string enclosed in quotes. The possible values are listed in the table below.</p>
|
|
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>to_unit</em></b> is the measurement unit that the <b><em>number</em></b> should be converted to. A text string enclosed in quotes. The possible values are listed in the table below.</p>
|
|
<p class="note"><b>Note:</b> the <b><em>from_unit</em></b> and <b><em>to_unit</em></b> must be compatible, i.e. they should belong to the same measurement type.</p>
