how do I format an Excel sheet to create a ratio as in 1:25 ??
Hi David
ths for that - as I said I have found that I can use the inverted commas to
force the colon - but it can't then round the answer so somewhere I was
hoping that there might be another way of getting te same effect.

If you have a number of 24.8, and format the call as "1:"0 , then it will
display as 1:25.
If you wanted it in a different cell, you can use the formula
="1:"&TEXT(A1,0) to produce a text string.

when doing calculations I want the answer toi come out as a ratio 1: 25
rather than just 25 - I have found a way of doing that by adding the 1: as
text within inverted commas - but it won't allow a rounding.
Does anyone know another way of doing this pls??
