See this post for where I'm coming from: http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=22253

The area of the rooms that I have are 607 square feet. When I tried to convert this to meters in Excel, I got 185.01 (instead of 65).

Here's the function I used in Excel =CONVERT(A1,"ft","m") where A1 contains the value that I want to convert.

What am I doing wrong??
 
See the examples at the very end of for help on converting between square feet and square metres.
