Hi,

With pounds in a1 try this

=INT(A1/14) & " Stones " & MOD(A1,14)&" Pounds"

Try this:
=TRUNC(A1/14) & " STONES " & ROUND(SUM(11/14,-TRUNC(11/14))*14,0) & " POUNDS"

11 should read: A1
Anyhow, Mikes formula is "nicer"

Micky,

I bet you meant this :)

=TRUNC(A1/14) & " STONES " & ROUND(SUM(A1/14,-TRUNC(A1/14))*14,0) & " POUNDS"

But I'd still go with my shorter version.
