Many thanks Gord - the International was set to US, so I
was able to change it to Metric.

This is a Windows OS setting, not an Excel setting.

You would go to Windows Control PanelRegional and
Language
OptionsRegional Options tabCustomize and set
the "measurement system" to
Metric.

This option will affect all programs.
