Convert Stress Values

In ALTA life-stress data folios, you can easily convert all the values in a specified stress column to another value.

First, select the stress column that contains the values you want to convert by clicking the heading of that column or selecting any cell in that column. All of the values in the selected column will be converted. For example, if you select one cell and convert the contained value, all the other values in that column will be converted as well.

Then choose Life-Stress Data > Options > Convert Stress Values.

Select how you want to convert the values:

Multiply or divide the values in the column by a specified value. Use the input field to enter the value that you wish to have each stress value multiplied or divided by.
Celsius to Kelvin
Fahrenheit to Kelvin
Celsius to Rankine
Fahrenheit to Rankine

If you want to move the original, unconverted values into a subset ID column in the data sheet for future reference, select the Put current values in Subset ID check box and then use the drop-down list to choose the subset ID column to move the values into. If there is already information in the selected subset ID column, the software will overwrite that information.

Tip: If you only have one subset ID column, and you want to move its information to a column that will not be overwritten when you select the Put current values in Subset ID check box, first use the Add or Remove Columns window to add a second subset ID column. The second subset ID column will be available in the drop-down list when you next open the Convert Stress Values window.
