USING TEXT AND NUMBERS IN SAME CELL
Hi
I am trying to type in something like 21lb 8oz but also use the decimal version 21.5 in the same cell as a number,so i can use =sum. I do not need to see the number 21.5, in fact it would be prefferable not to. Can anyone help. |

USING TEXT AND NUMBERS IN SAME CELL
Since you want to do math on the number and still see it in logical units,
consider using two cells: In A1 put 21.5 in B1 put =INT(A1)&" lbs " & 16*(A1-INT(A1))&" oz" and you will see what you want. __________________________________________________ _____ Gary's Student "Model-man" wrote: Hi I am trying to type in something like 21lb 8oz but also use the decimal version 21.5 in the same cell as a number,so i can use =sum.
