Default How do I set up a custom cell format category?

I assume 1 lb 14 oz is the output style you want.

But where are are you entering the numbers and how?

1.14 in one cell?

120 in A1 and a formula in B1 =A1/16 which returns 7.5 and you want formatted
to 8 lbs 8 oz?

1 lb 14 oz is an example of the type of data. I was referring to adding the
custom cell format, not particularly the column of data.

In one cell or two cells? Post the form please.

What do you mean by "add".......SUM?

What do you want the ouput to look like?

123 pounds 14 ounces or?
