Default Formula needed

Thanks for that, one small problem though, in the E column, where it gives
the conversion into Stones and pounds, it gives it as a percentage of a
Stone, we want it to read say 23 Stone 12 pounds, how can we do it?

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
