Stones and Lbs
 
Hi,

How can I convert Stones and Lbs to Lbs
i.e. in A1 10-12 (10st - 12Lbs) what formula could I use in B1 to return 152
(lbs)?

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Regards,

Eamon

Hello there,

You need to extract the left 2 digits and times by 14
plus the right 2 digits:

A1 = 10-12

=(LEFT(A1,2)*14)+(RIGHT(A1,2))

Hope this helps

Judith

Still getting some incorrect returns using =(LEFT(A1,2)*14)+(RIGHT(A1,1)
i.e. 10-12 returning 142 instead of 152

Hello there again,

Your formula appears to be slightly wrong:

=(LEFT(A1,2)*14)+(RIGHT(A1,1)

The final digit needs to be 2:

=(LEFT(A1,2)*14)+(RIGHT(A1,2))

If this still doesn't work sent out another SOS.

Judith,

Your formula is returning 139 for 10-1 it should return 141?
Your formula is returning the right answer when the Lbs are 0 or (2 digits)
i.e. 10 or 11 or 12 or 13
but is returning the incorrect value when (Lbs are a single digit i.e. 1 or
2 or 3 etc!

I don't know if this is an issue in this case, but if the searched cell is
eg 9-10, your formula results in an #VALUE error.

Try this

=(LEFT(A1,(FIND("-",A1)-1))*14)+(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("-",A1)))

While your problem has already been solved, there's an easier way.

=(SUBSTITUTE("10-12","-","")&"/14")*14

returns 152.
