Module: UnitConversion in Category General VBA/VB6 : Data Type and Unit Conversion from Total Visual SourceBook

Convert units of measurement such as degrees, distance, volume, and calendar dates in VBA and VB6.

Procedure List

Procedure Name	Type	Description
(Declarations)	Declarations	Declarations and private variables for the modUnitConversion module.
CelsiusToFahrenheit	Procedure	Converts from Celsius (centigrade) to Fahrenheit.
ComputeWindChillEnglish	Procedure	Calculate the wind chill for exposed human skin.
ComputeWindChillMetric	Procedure	Calculate the wind chill for exposed human skin.
ConvertDistance	Procedure	Converts between distance units. This function first normalizes metric and English values to meters, then multiplies by the conversion factor for meters.
ConvertVolume	Procedure	Converts between volume units. This function first normalizes metric and English values to liters, then multiplies by the conversion factor for liters.
ConvertWeight	Procedure	Converts between weight units. The function normalizes metric and English values to grams, then multiplies by the conversion factor for grams.
DegreesToRadians	Procedure	Convert degrees to radians (180 degrees equals PI radians).
FahrenheitToCelcius	Procedure	Converts Fahrenheit to Celsius (centigrade).
JulianDateToGregorianDate	Procedure	Get a standard Gregorian Date from a Julian Date. The Gregorian calendar is our traditional calendar and is named for Pope Gregory XIII, who made it the official calendar in the 16th century. Julian Day is the number of days in the current year starting with January 1. Julian Date is a five or seven digit number with the first two or four digits being the year followed by the three digit Julian Day.
GregorianDateToJulianDate	Procedure	Get a Julian Date from a Gregorian Date. The Gregorian calendar is our traditional calendar and is named for Pope Gregory XIII, who made it the official calendar in the 16th century. Julian Day is the number of days in the current year starting with January 1. Julian Date is a five or seven digit number with the first two or four digits being the year followed by the three digit Julian Day.
YearWithoutCentury	Procedure	For a given year greater than zero, remove the century for a two digit year (with leading 0 if necessary).
GregorianDateToJulianDay	Procedure	Calculate the Julian Day for a Gregorian Date. The Gregorian calendar is our traditional calendar and is named for Pope Gregory XIII, who made it the official calendar in the 16th century. Julian Day is the number of days in the current year starting with January 1.
RadiansToDegrees	Procedure	Convert radians to degrees (PI radians equals 180 degrees).
