Inputting data as Stone, pounds and ounces
I'm sure this is very simple and i'm just being stupid but I can't seem to
format cells to accept imperial weight measurements and then allow them to be plotted on a chart. Any pointers would be most welcome. thanks |

I don't think you'll find an inbuilt way of dealing with these units (in the
way you can with hours minutes and seconds), so I think your best bet would be to put stones, pounds, and ounces in 3 separate columns, and then use a helper column, perhaps in pounds, to combine the total, & then plot from that column. -- David Biddulph "BigAndy" wrote in message ...

Better yet, simplify your life and that of those around you by using SI units g and kg from the start. It is the standard, it's easy to use and understand, why not use it ? :) |
