display lbs and ozs
i input my weights, in grams, in one column and convert them to lbs/ozs in
the next column. when i input 400 ( grams ), it gives me 8.8 ozs instead of 14.11 ozs. ( the correct conversion ). help and thanks "Trail Dog" wrote: that helps a lot, thanks you "FARAZ QURESHI" wrote: How about trying, the format: 0 "lbs". 0 "ozs" "Trail Dog" wrote: i use the formula # "lbs" ??/16 "ozs" for calculating my backpacking gear. how do i change it to show 3 lbs 2 ozs instead of 3 lbs 2/16 ozs ? thanks |

Sorry I thought you were inserting data manually. How about trying a formula
like: =ROUNDDOWN(A1/16,0)&" lbs. & "&((A1/16)-ROUNDDOWN(A1/16,0))*16&" oz." So as to convert 172 (oz) in cell A1, to "10 lbs. & 12 oz."? -- Do check "Yes" if this post is helpful, Best Regards, Faraz "Trail Dog" wrote: i input my weights, in grams, in one column and convert them to lbs/ozs in the next column. when i input 400 ( grams ), it gives me 8.8 ozs instead of 14.11 ozs.

Hi
Suggest to use the CONVERT() function =CONVERT(400,"g","ozm") If it returns the #NAME? error then from menu ToolsAddIns check 'Analysis ToolPak add-in'...and then try If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Trail Dog" wrote: i input my weights, in grams, in one column and convert them to lbs/ozs in the next column. when i input 400 ( grams ), it gives me 8.8 ozs instead of 14.11 ozs.

Well in case of change in measurement systems you could use:
=CONVERT(A1,"g","ozm") as per Jacob. -- Do check "Yes" if this post is helpful, Best Regards, Faraz "Trail Dog" wrote: thanks but could you change the formula so i can convert grams to lbs/ozs ?
