    Conversion table logistics

    Hey guys,

    I am trying to build a conversion table with lets say 3 columns; lbs, ozs, grams. I would like to be able to plug in data to any of the three columns, depending on the unit I am receiving, and have the other two auto generate. The ways that I have tried create circular loops (logically).

    I assume this is possible, but not sure, and don't even know what to call it to find the how-to online.

    Thanks for the help.

    I think you will need to use VBA. Specifically, a Worksheet Change Event Handler monitoring the columns of interest. When something is put in the grams column, it will calculate lbs and ozs. And vice versa.

    Perhaps have a 4th column for the answer, so that when you enter in any of the other 2 columns, the 4th gets calc'd? You could even have it include the unit of measure, if you want (or have that ina 5th column?)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
