What units do you need to convert?
If you know the factor you could easily change the units by using formulas in the required cells e.g. mm to inches - divide by 25.4

CONVERT is a built in function in Excel! IT is in 2007 version adn I belive in earlier versions as well. Here is the start of the Help message about it ....
CONVERT
Converts 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.
Syntax
CONVERT(number,from_unit,to_unit)
Number is the value in from_units to convert.
From_unit is the units for number.
To_unit is the units for the result. CONVERT accepts the following text values (in quotation marks) for from_unit and to_unit.
Weight and mass
From_unit or to_unit
Gram "g"
Slug "sg"
Pound mass (avoirdupois) "lbm"
U (atomic mass unit) "u"
Ounce mass (avoirdupois) "ozm"
You can also use google ... just google "convert 2 inches to cm" and it will give the answer

A very neat easy way to do unit conversions is to just put them into Google, especially if you have a Google search bar:
http://www.google.com/search?q=10.90mm+in+inch
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=72f+in+c
You can do the same with math problems:
http://www.google.com/search?q=sin+32+degrees
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=125^(1/3)
(Taking the cube root is the same as raising something to the 1/3rd power)
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=12+5*3
Note that it will even handle the order of operations correctly.(So far in my experience but I usually parenthesis everything to be safe)
