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

[CLR]

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

Vaya con Dios,

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 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)

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

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!
Regards,

Eamon

I posted a formula - does it not work?

You can't specify taking a number of digits from the left or right - the formula must calculate this - because sometimes there are single figures and sometimes 2 figures.

Hello there,

Try this:

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

Hi

I don't think that works if either or both the stone and lbs figures are in single figures.

Try:

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

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

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

returns 152.

[Eamon]

Thanks also to Ian and Harlan your suggestions are much appreciated.

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

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