The worksheet cells can't be customized to show dashes between the feet and inches like the drawn dimensions can. I just noticed that under "Format Cells" there is the "Dimension" option, with nothing more than the text prefix/suffix option. It would not take much to have a couple more options (it appears that the only way to adjust the cell units is through the document unit preferences). This level of adjustment (dashes between feet and inches, or inches only, etc.) is crucial for working drawing items like the door or window schedule. I have noticed complaints before about the lack of the dash between the foot and inch values in the schedules, and some of them have found this omission to be embarrassing to the architectural profession.
