thanks. how do i get only 1 decimal places for the ozs, ex. 10 lbs 2.4 oz

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."?

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

How about trying, the format:
0 "lbs". 0 "ozs"

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
