Just like in Excel, ClearCalcs lets you perform quick calculations inside any input cell. Unlike Excel however, ClearCalcs also lets you type units and converts them on the fly! All you need to do is enter the mathematical operation you want, and you can include any units you'd like!
1. Simply start typing a formula into any input field 2. Type in your preferred formula (for example ) 3. ClearCalcs will automatically perform the calculation, including

Note: This article is about converting units in an input. If you'd like to change the unit system for your entire project, including in all the output numbers, see the article How to Change Unit Systems
Units may be used in any input field. You can even perform calculations with units, such as . ClearCalcs recognises hundreds of different types of units, and if you're using the metric system, all the standard SI prefixes (u, m, c, k, M, G, etc.). Some examples of common units are listed below, but many others are also available - if you want to enter a length in "rods" or a volume in "teaspoons", you can do that too!
First, a few general notes:
Unit Type | Metric Units | Imperial Units |
---|---|---|
Length | meter (m) | mil, inch (in), foot (ft), yard (yd) |
Surface Area | m^2, mm^2, cm^2, | mil^2 (sqmil), in^2 (sqin), ft^2 (sqft), yd^2 (sqyd) |
Volume | m^3, mm^3, cm^3 (cc), litre (L) | mil^3, in^3 (cuin), ft^3 (cuft), yd^3 (cuyd) |
Angles | degree (deg), radian (rad) | degree (deg), radian (rad) |
Mass | gram (g), kg, tonne | ton, ounce (oz), poundmass (lbm) |
Force or Weight | newton (N), kN, MN | poundforce (lb* or lbf), kip |
Moment | N m, kN m, N mm | lb ft, lb in, kip in |
Pressure | Pa, kPa, MPa, GPa | psi, ksi*, psf, ksf* |
Mass Density | kg/m^3, g/mm^3 | lbm/in^3, lbm/ft^3, oz/in^3 |
Weight Density | N/m^3, kN/m^3 | lb/in^3 (pci*), lb/ft^3 (pcf*), kip/ft^3 (kcf*) |
