Default How do I format cells to accept stones and pounds?

In A1 enter:
202

In B1 enter:
=A1*0.0714285781774163


In C1 enter:
=INT(B1)


In D1 enter:
=INT((B1-INT(B1))/0.0714285781774163)


In E1 enter:
=C1 & " st " & D1 & " lb"


and you will see:
202 14.42857279 14 6 14 st 6 lb

You can hide the intermediate columns if you like.

I am trying to set up a chart showing weight comparisons in stones and pounds.

How do I format cells to accept values e.g. 14st 6lb etc? (I don't just want
to put in the total pounds value of e.g. 202 instead of 14st 6lb)
