The separator should be semicolon, and not comma. ie CONVERT(B2; "lbm"; "g")

Hi, hasenmaus, to convert a text 10lbs to a numeric value of ten (10), for instance, the text is in cell A10, please use the formula as below:
="("&EXTRACTNUMBERS(A10)&")"

Thanks Sunny! I’ve never used the Extract() function in Excel. We all seem to get trapped in the way we’ve done thing in the past and fail to check if there is a better way to get the job done.

Did this every get soled for you??
here is a simple way to do it though it shows pound and ounces it should still work


To enter a value such as 1.14 and have it display as 1 lb. 14 oz. you can use a custom format.

Righ click the cell, and from the drop down menu choose Format Cells
On the Number tab select Custom Type: 0" lb". 00" oz."
