RSSI to Distance Calculation

So for a project of mine, I’m required to calculate the distance, in meters, of a device (phone) from an access point using the RSS (Received Signal Strength) value, in dBm, obtained.

I’ve done days of research and all of the formulae I come across require RSS to be in dB not dBm and since there is no correlation between the two conversion is out of the question.

I’m wondering if there’s any other way to go about this. Is there any other way to calculate the distance using RSS?

Please help. Any and all help is welcomed and thanked.
