I've been looking on the internet for a spreadsheet that lists the various units of measure with conversion factors to other units. I'm not looking for the formulas, just a chart.
has anyone found anything like this?

Real world knowledge isn't dropped from a parachute in the sky but rather acquired in tiny increments from a variety of sources including panic and curiosity.
You could create one using the CONVERT function ...
Entia non sunt multiplicanda sine necessitate
If you're up for bit of copying and pasting to create your own Excel version, then you might find this link useful.

Do you know . . . ?

shg,
I did decide to create my own table using the CONVERT function as part of the calculations but still had to write a few other formulas. Interesting to note the the CONVERT uses the "l" (lower case "L") for Liters, while NIST specifies "L" (Upper case) so as not to confuse the term with the number 1.
Palmetto,
The site you provided was interesting but I found something similar already in EXCEL. Still, nothing I found seemed to provide all of the solutions.
I was hoping to find either an existing spreadsheet, or an Add In that would allow me to use a consistent formula for some conversions I need to do. I did come across "Wayne Pafko's" Unit Conversion Site that seem pretty good, but the spreadsheet doesn't permit me the flexibility to do what I need (or more likely I don't know how to implement it).
For those interested, NIST publishes "The NIST Guide for the use of the International Systems of Units" in both a Web Based Version and a PDF Version. They also publish the "United States customary system". The National Bureau of Standards (now part of NIST), publication "Weights and Measures of the United States a brief History", which is available in both a Web Based Version and a PDF Version.
While trying to find some information on British conventions and conversions, I came across the British trade association British Weights and Measures Association. It seems that the EU is now planning to make it illegal to mark packages with the Imperial Units of Measure, which seems have have some folks in the UK upset.
Any way thanks for your input...always appreciated.
