Default convert kilograms to stones AND pounds

Gord,

=INT(A3*0.071429)&" Stones "&ROUND((A3*0.071429-INT(A3*0.071429))*10,0)&"
lbs"


Should you not have multiplied by 14 instead of 10? (Unless of course
Canada has metric stones <g)

and would it not be better to divide by 14 then multiply by 0.071429?

This formula will give you stones and pounds from Kg

=INT(A3*0.071429)&" Stones "&ROUND((A3*0.071429-INT(A3*0.071429))*10,0)&"
lbs"

Converting Kilograms to Stones is straight forward but is it possible to
take the part of the number after the decimal point and convert it to
pounds?
