kilogram to pound in excel

[encee]

does anyone have a quick chart formula to work out for instance a pound of meat what it would be in kg cos fed up with ordering the wrong amounts online.i'm sure someone out there has a quick answer to this one.please please please.
example this week free range chicken was �13.52 per kg and to order it had to be done in kg.so i put 0.6 as thought it was roughly half.nope it wasn't it was roughly a quarter.ie 2 little chicken breasts the size of a sparrow.i am learning but i think if i had a simple excel chart i would be better educated????

Two and quarter pounds of jam
Weigh about a kilogram

1 kilogram = 2.205 pounds

LOL

saxy, and so do 2 and quarter pounds of lead weigh about a kilogram

[kempie]

I imagine Chuck is a child of the metric system.

Those who lived through the "change" may well remember the ditties...

A litre of water's
A pint and three quarters

A metre measures 3 foot 3
It's longer than a yard, you see.

Yes, Kempie, I remember those well. In fact I still use them sometimes.

I imagine two and a quarter pounds of lead would weigh about a kilogram, but it doesn't rhyme.

Two and a quarter pounds of lead
Should bag you around a hundred quid

Well, I never said I was a poet. ;-)

like the dittie kempie

One pound is 454g
Two pounds is 907g

so 0.6 kg should have got you about 1lb 4oz

Also,
1 pint is 568ml
1 gallon in 4.5l (ish - can't remember exactly)

1 foot is 305mm (0.305m)
1 yard is 915mm (0.915m)

Which is just the reverse conversion of previously

so.. to answer you're original question...

If you have excel cell A1 as your imperial measurement, enter the following formula in B1 to give you it in metric
=A1x0.454
Which will convert from pounds to kgs (not pounds and ounces though - that'd get more complicated)
