Good thing I asked, turns out I had it in excel as 612/3,6 when as you say it should be multiply.
Thanks, stupid mistake but that's why I asked!

The correct value in MJ would by 612 x 3.6 = 2203.2 .Michael Payne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Have I got the conversion factors correct? I run a spreadsheet to convert
gas and electric usage to MJ.
My gas bill, 12,7 Therms times 105,4804 equals 1 340 MJ. (the conversion
factor from NIST metric guide)
My electric bill 612 kWh times 3,6 equals 170 MJ.
Seems to me that I have a high MegaJoule count for gas, which in summer
only heats my water. Whereas my electric bill reflects most everything else
in the house including air conditioning.
BTW, the comma above is the decimal marker.
