Is there a "medevial" plugin for Excel that knows how to handle those ancient measurements?

Watch this video, you'll enjoy supplying "turbo-encabulator" as an answer even more!

The CONVERT function does it.

If our government here has only ever got one thing right in the last 50 years it was converting to the metric system. It beats me why the US still clings to an outdated, archaic system of measurements

Did you use some recursion? MOD() function? This would be fun if I had some spare time (LOL) to code!

Ouch!

I've found that that's the most painful way to work with Excel - glad you got it to work for you.

(If I'm doing anything complicated enough to require Visual Basic in Excel I ship the data over to MATLAB and do the programming there.)
