Default convert kilograms to stones AND pounds

Chip,

Would it not be better to ROUND() or TRUNC() the pounds because you formula
returns

10 Stones 5.20000000000002 Pounds

for 66 Kg

The following formula will return a string like "10 Stones 5 Pounds"
where cell A2 contains the weight in Kg.

=TRUNC(A2*2.2/14)&" Stones"&A2*2.2-(TRUNC(A2*2.2/14)*14)&" Pounds"

Cordially,

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?
