Default adding lbs & oz's

This array* formula does it, Roy:

=SUM(INT(A1:A3))
+INT(SUM(MOD(A1:A3,1))*100/16)+MOD(SUM(MOD(A1:A3,1))*100,16)/100

assuming your numbers are in A1 to A3, so adjust the range to suit.

*An array formula has to be committed using Ctrl-Shift-Enter (CSE)
instead of the usual <Enter. If you do this correctly then Excel will
wrap curly braces { } around the formula when viewed in the formula
bar - do not type these yourself. If you subsequently edit/amend the
formula you need to use CSE again.

Hope this helps.

Hi guys

KNow you guys can help with this...

I need a formula that will calculate lbs & oz when data is entered:

49.02
35.15
24.13

this needs to take account that 1lb = 16 oz, using decimals it would assume
this once 10 is reached.

I dont want to have the lbs and oz in seperate cells if possible

adding my numbers up manually comes out at 109.14
Hope this makes sense.
