Default Horsefield length weight monitering

So, since getting my new Horsefied a few days ago have been hunting around for ways of monitoring its growth, weight etc. and stumbled across a thread in another forum http://www.tortoise-protection-group...30.asp?tID=667
which gave a formula from someone in the stated is basically
Length(cm)xWidth(cm)xHeight(cm)x0.75=Weight(g)

So got the other half to make me an Excel spreadsheet to calculate this for me (with a square dividing the outcome of above formula with the measured weight, making a value of 1 being the best out come)

I only have 1 weeks data for this but came out at 1.037 so it could be fairly accurate.

am happy to share my excel sheet and get any advice on this measuring system.
