Stones and Lbs

[Eamon]

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

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

Judith this is what is returned using your formula the correct value is
returned in some cases but the incorrect value is returned in other cases
any other suggestions to remedy this.

Your help is much appreciated.

PS I have it working with
=(LEFT(A1,2)*14)+(RIGHT(A1,1)

Thanks also to Chuck

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!

Hello there,

Try this:

=(LEFT(A1,2)*14)+(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("-",A1)))

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.

I don't know how the space got lost, but the formula should be

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