How do I format to show lb & stones eg 24lb = 1st 10lb
D David Biddulph Aug 31, 2008 #2 You can't do it by cell formatting. =INT(A1/14)&"st "&MOD(A1,14)&"lb"
M Mike H Aug 31, 2008 #3 Hi, I'm not sure about a format but with a number of pounds in A1 try this. =INT(A1*0.0714286)&" St " &INT((A1*0.0714286-INT(A1*0.0714286))/0.0714286)&" lbs" It will start losing accuracy at around 2500000 pounds. Mike

D David Biddulph Aug 31, 2008 #4 Dividing by 14 is better than muliplying by a rough approximation to the reciprocal. And for the remainder after the division, MOD(A1,14) is easier than INT((A1*0.0714286-INT(A1*0.0714286))/0.0714286)
