Want to change chart data range from Kg to stones

The bar chart looks good as it is showing Kg data from column F, but I would like the vertical axis to display stones In half stone increments ie. 11, 11.5, 12.
If I use the data from column C (stones) it is close to what I want but the graph only jumps from one stone to the next with no points inbetween.
Could I use the data from column E (total pounds) then use a formula to make the axis display as stones and half stones instead of pounds?

G'day and welcome to the forum,

To get the vertical axis to display in increments of 0.5 in either kg or stones follow the next steps.


1. Double check on the vertical axis number on the chart itself. After the double click a option menu will appear on the right hand side of the screen

2. Click on the icon [picture] that looks like a bar chart. (Located below the words 'Text Options').

3. Then click on the triangle shape (arrow) that next to the words 'Axis Options'

4. Navigate down the menu and under the 'Units' section change the 'Major' field to 0.5

5. Press the Tab button to get out of that field box to apply the changes that was made.

Thanks ratcat
I've tried doing that already and I know that works with kg, but I'm not able to get the vertical axis to use stones other than selecting the data as column C as I mentioned before.
Then the chart jumps from one stone to the next as column C only uses stones and not pounds.
I would like the chart to show the same detailed changes inbetween each stone but to have half stones as the division down the side.
Column G has the detail I need (stones, pounds and points of a pound) but if I select column G as the data for the chart it just shows a flat line along the bottom of the chart because column g uses a formula and is not just numbers.

I'm guessing the easiest way to do this is to use column E (total pounds) as the selected data range then somehow change the axis to display half stone increments.
Is that possible in axis options/number/format code?

ahh misunderstood.

Try this in G2 and copy drag down or another column of your choice then point the chart to that column.

That's very close to what I'm after, but I researched how to input pounds, stones and points of a pound for a while, that's why I'm using the concatenate formula in column G.
Using your formula 13 stone 10.5 pounds (closer to 14 stone) shows as 13.105 stones (closer to 13 stone).

I've tried adding a new column (H) and used your formula so your numbers show right next to column G stones, pounds and points of pounds and you can see the difference.

Sorry misunderstood again. I live the metric world.

Try this

Edit: Make sure that the cell is to two decimal places.

Or if you like to precise because the last formula I gave you will display 12 stone 7 pounds as 12.5
