Try again, d walden! He wrote, about his spreadsheet- "Revised version is attached which should fix the problem more elegantly." But in escaping from one trap, he has fallen into another. You will get wrong answers for negative values unless you attach a negative sign to both the degrees and the minutes that are input. I am aware of these difficulties, having in my time fallen victim to them, and several others, in the ostensibly simple process of inputting and outputting degrees-and-minutes.
