How to convert kg to lbs in Excel

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Excel has a built-in function: =CONVERT(A1,"kg","lbm") turns the kilograms in A1 into pounds, and =CONVERT(A1,"lbm","kg") goes the other way. Note that the unit code for pounds is "lbm", pound mass, not "lb". You can also just multiply: =A1*2.20462 for kg to lb, or =A1*0.45359237 for lb to kg. Add =ROUND(…,1) to keep one decimal. The same formulas work in Google Sheets.
