Is there a way to convert units (i.e. from lbs. to grams) in Excel without creating a formula?

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
Sort by date Sort by votes
If you have a range of numbers representing weight in pounds then you can convert them in situ like this.

Put the conversion factor in a blank cell, i.e.

453.5923

Copy that cell then select your range of data and use:

Edit > Paste Special > under "operation" select "Multiply" and OK
