Abstract
A machine-implemented method for data conversion, which is adapted for converting a plurality of entries of component data in a bill of materials, includes the steps of: (a) reading the entries of the component data from the bill of materials; (b) acquiring a critical text set from each of the entries of the component data; (c) generating a converted component value and a converted component value range for the critical text set acquired from each of the entries of the component data; and (d) rearranging the entries of the component data in the bill of materials according to the converted component values, and displaying the rearranged entries of the component data together with the corresponding converted component values and the corresponding converted component value ranges.
