   How to perform Conversion

6. 1024 is the basis used to convert units of measure.
   • To move up in data measurement levels, you will divide.
   • To move down in data measurement levels, you will multiply.
   MB ÷ 1024 = GB (Cell F2)
   GB ÷ 1024 = TB (Cell G2)
   MB x 1024 = KB (Cell D2)
   KB x 1024 = Bytes (Cell C2)
   These calculations represent the same data amounts, but in different units of measure.

   Row 7 shows the formulas used on the spreadsheet to convert the measurements.
