I added a new link to the matrix. It should work now.

THANK U.....so much....i will take a look at it and figure it out.

Thank you for taking so much time to do this and especially for sharing!

To Irene and all who want scratch conversions - I have done a few that I have listed below. Converting ingredients is a little harder than liquids because 8oz of weight doesn't always (or ever) equal 1 cup. I found a good link at http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_volume_cooking.htm. What is nice about this site as compared to others I looked at, is that it has lots of ingredients, and converts both US and UK measures - whichever you prefer.

Here is the way you use it to do conversions for the matrix: For example let's do all purpose flour. In the top box you select your ingredient - so choose flour, US, all purpose. In the next box you put the quantity you want and in the From This box, the weight you want - I buy 5 pounds so 5 goes in quantity and pounds in the From this box. Then in the To this box I select cups [US] and hit recalculate. In the bottom box you get 5lb=22.824 cups. Then divide 22.824 by the 5 and you get 4.56 which is the conversion factor for the matrix.

So here's a few I did
5 lbs AP flour to cups = 4.56
5 lbs granulated sugar to cups = 2.366
2 lbs brown sugar to cups = 2.27
2 lbs confectioners sugar [aka powdered, aka icing] to cups = 3.48
1 lb butter to cups = 2
1 lb butter to tablespoons = 32

Another note: if you are converting large quantity to small [like cup to tsp] then conversion factor should be GREATER than 0. If you are converting small to large [like cup to pound] then conversion factor should be LESS than 0.

Hope this helps - it seems complex but this will give you best answers for non liquid ingredients (sorry - I was a science major in college ) Make sure you put in the quantities you buy - you can ignore the density section - it's not necessary unless you have the densities for your ingredients (now that's a REAL science geek)!!!

This is amazing! I'm not that savvy in using Excel outside of just basic formulas and you did suchh an awesome job!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing! I'm downloading, saving, etc etc...WOW.
