Re: How do I change default unit of measure from cm to inches? Gord Dibben <gorddibbATshawDOTca> 24.08.2006 03:24:56 Your original post stated you wanted to change from cms to inches so you must be happy if Excel shows inches. I know of no other way to change from Metric to US or US to Metric. There is no provision inside Excel to do this.
