Default Convert

kg still isn't listed together. I was calling into account Mike saying that
kg isn't recognized, and then erred again when multiplying by 100 instead of
1000. You are just upset at me because of the other post regarding budget
redemption.

Well, that's not entirely accurate. kg IS recognized by xl2003, even
though
not listed in help.

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
