"The following abbreviated unit prefixes can be prepended to any metric
from_unit or to_unit.Prefix Multiplier Abbreviation
exa 1E+18 "E"
peta 1E+15 "P"
tera 1E+12 "T"
giga 1E+09 "G"
mega 1E+06 "M"
kilo 1E+03 "k"
hecto 1E+02 "h"
dekao 1E+01 "e"
deci 1E-01 "d"
centi 1E-02 "c"

Well, that's not entirely accurate. kg IS recognized by xl2003, even

Also, I think you meant to multiply by 1000, not 100, in your formula.

Hi,

Neither of those arguments are accepted by convert

Try

=CONVERT(A1*100,"g","lbm")

or work in grammes in a1
