It's important that the standards has the same matrix as the samples. If, for example, the matrix is 10% HNO3 after sample preparation and dilution than match this acid concentration for the standard solution. 
 To calculate the correct value for the soil samples you can use the volume and weight column on the sequence page of the ICPExpert 7.x. Then the calculation from mg/l (or other volume/weight) could be calculated to mg/Kg (or other weight/weight)
