Default WEIGHT CONVERSION???

I have created a template to record my weightloss, however, I have created it
using lbs for the actual weight and I would like to convert this into stones
and pounds. I have tried dividing by 14 but it's just not working, I've also
tried to find a formula but again I'm struggling. I know that this is the
easiest thing in the world and it's just staring me in the face, but can
anyone help at all please?

Thanks, L

With your loss in pounds in A1 try

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

Hi

With weight in lbs in A1
in B1
=INT(A1/14) will give Stones
in C1
=MOD(A1,14) will give the remaining pounds

Alternatively if pounds are in A1, in B1 enter =A1/14 then use Format |Cells
to give the cell a custom format of # ??/14
