Default a simple math formula


I came up with =SUM(B5)*2.2 which works for converting B5 to C5. How do I
now have that apply to every B cell entry?

I'm a little further along.

Hi David

In C5 enter
=CONVERT(B5,"kg","lbm")
and copy down through C6:C77

Hi, I'm new to this and have a very simple question.

I have values, simple numbers representing weight in kg, that I wish to
automatically convert to US pounds.

The 'kg' numbers are in fields B5 - to B77 for example. I want the
conversion result (simply multiplying each B cell entry by 2.2) placed
in the ''cell adjacent. Thanks! Dave Horne
