🗃️ #familyhistory #genealogy Working in pre-decimal currency can be a pain, so I’ve put together an Excel document that makes it a lot easier. If you need a calculator that works with pounds, shillings and pence, you are welcome to download and use this chartist-ancestors.blogspot.com/2023/07/need...

I have a function to force £sd into decimals if you would like it. How it works is that the number before the decimal is the £ amount and the number after combines the shillings and pence. So £2 10/6 would be forced as £2.5. It’s readable at a glance and allows excel functions to work.

Respect for your elders please! Some of us grew up with L.s.d... (Mind you - certainly didn't complain when we switched!)
