Default Formula needed

You have the cart before the horse!
It is easy to convert kg to lb with either =CONVERT(C4*1000,"g","lbm") or
=C4*2.2046 in F4
To get stones & lbs, you could use in E4: =INT(F4/14)&"st
"&ROUND(MOD(F4,14),0)&"lbs"
or in E4 use =F4/14 and use custom format # ??/14
best wishes

We are trying to workout a formula to do with weight loss. So far we have
everything correct apart from one colum and thats column E

Column B = Weight in Kgs so B4 = 151.5 (formula =Sheet1!$C$25 - which is
151.5 (weight in Kgs)
Column C = BMI so C4 = 45.24 (formula =Sheet1!$H$25 - which is 45.23874
(Body Mass Index BMI)
Column D = Weight loss in Kgs (calculation we use is Column B figure minus
Column C figure)
Column E = Weight in Stones & Pounds ( This is where we are struggling to
come up with a formular that works)
Column F = Loss in pounds (And as a consequence of column E we are having
problems with column F

Can anyone give us a clue as to what we can use in the way of formulas for
column E and F.

TIA
