I don't know if this is a 2nd posting. I'm just learing this board. If it is, I'm sorry.

I have 2 cells. D2 is where we enter the pounds of something. In D1 we want a formula to convert D2 into Kilograms. How can we do that?
 

Excel Facts

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
=D2*2.2 would do it.

You could also use the CONVERT function. The syntax would be:

=CONVERT(D2,"lbm","g")/1000

Quote from Excel's help

"Converts a number from one measurement system to another. For example, CONVERT can translate a table of distances in miles to a table of distances in kilometers.

If this function is not available, run the
Setup program to install the Analysis ToolPak. After you install the Analysis ToolPak, you must enable it by using Add-Ins on the Tools menu."

Good one, Barry - I was looking for that but forgot what the function was called!
