How do I create a unit converter in Excel?
In Excel, use the built-in CONVERT function: =CONVERT(value, from_unit, to_unit). For example, =CONVERT(1, 'kg', 'lbm') converts 1 kilogram to pounds. Excel supports common unit categories including weight, length, temperature, and volume through this function.
What happened to Google unit converter?
Google's built-in unit converter is still available — search 'unit converter' or any specific conversion like '5 kg to lbs' in Google Search to see the calculator widget. However, it covers only basic categories. MyUnitConverter supports 77+ categories including engineering, electricity, and radiology units that Google's tool does not include.

MyUnitConverter combines both: you enter a value and get the converted result instantly, with the formula displayed.
