Subject: Decimal Degrees to DMS conversion

I wrote a spreadsheet formula to convert decimal degrees to degrees- minutes-seconds (DMS) using the Corel Quattro spreadsheet software. For the equation, 'X' represents the decimal degree value and 'Y' the DMS value.

Y=((@INT(X)*10000)+(@INT(@MOD(X,1)*60)*100)+(@MOD((@MOD(X,1)*60),1)*60))

@INT is a function which takes the integer portion of the input value.
@MOD is a function which takes the modulus of the input value.
