I hate Excel and maths need help post...

...I have to brief in a bit of design to a client which involves numbers. Ignoring the fact they should be doing this if 20 = 0.175kg what does 30 etc equal? I just wanna enter the first two figures into a spreadsheet and let Excel do the rest - I assume that would work? Can a pens or Excel or better person help a Wrather out?..

Thanks...

        if 500 is 4.405 then 20 is 0.1762 (i've updated sheet 2 to show) (n/m) (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 6, 16:32:50
        
        Thanks Ralf I've just listed it - cheers... (General Chat) - Dandy Highburyman, Feb 6, 16:39:13
        
        goes off to google what a lb is in kg (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 6, 16:48:14
        
        I don't know what that means. Apols (n/m) (General Chat) - Dandy Highburyman, Feb 6, 16:50:11
        
        Just seen you've worked it out. Thanks guv. Will now it handover to client for sign off... (General Chat) - Dandy Highburyman, Feb 6, 16:56:50
        
        hope it's right, don't really know if the lbs values make sense... (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 6, 16:59:41
        
        Ultimately the client should be supplying me the content... (General Chat) - Dandy Highburyman, Feb 6, 17:29:20

        Because if 500 = 4.405, 20 doesn't equal 0.175! (It equals 4.405/500*20=0.1762) (n/m) (General Chat) - JD3, Feb 6, 16:32:34
        
        Client told me what £20 equals. They're a bank so nothing makes sense (n/m) (General Chat) - Dandy Highburyman, Feb 6, 16:40:12
      - yep this. when i did my copy and paste from desktop excel it took values not formulas (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 6, 16:26:36
  - Yes thanks... (General Chat) - Dandy Highburyman, Feb 6, 16:23:05
  - i like that, i've put mine in sheet 2 (n/m) (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 6, 16:21:19
- do you want to be able to change the values 20, 0.175kg and 30 and still have it work? (n/m) (General Chat) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 6, 16:12:34
  - Think so. 20 = 0.175 and 30 = whatever and 40 = whatever... (General Chat) - Dandy Highburyman, Feb 6, 16:19:09
- Formula of =0.175x'Text Entry Cell Ref' in the box where you want your answer (n/m) (General Chat) - JD3, Feb 6, 16:03:30
  - Ignore me and see dwayne below! (0.175/20) obvs! (n/m) (General Chat) - JD3, Feb 6, 16:04:32
