Insert symbol as a header for a column
I would like to insert 1/5 as a fraction header for a column. You can select
from the symbol menus say for instance under the Airal choices menu as there are a small number of fraction signs to select. I do not want to particular type in 1/5 or 1/5th as I want the looks that are obtained from using the symbol inputs. Does anybody know how you might achieve this? Thanks -- James |

Insert symbol as a header for a column
The code for one fifth is 8533.
Insert the following UDF: Function unicd(r As Long) As String unicd = ChrW(r) End Function Format A1 as Ariel MS Unicode In A1 enter: =unicd(8533) User Defined Functions (UDFs) are very easy to install and use: 1. ALT-F11 brings up the VBE window 2. ALT-I ALT-M opens a fresh module 3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window If you save the workbook, the UDF will be saved with it. To remove the UDF: 1. bring up the VBE window as above 2. clear the code out 3. close the VBE window To use the UDF from Excel: =unicd(A1) To learn more about macros in general, see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm or http://www.cpearson.com/excel/Writin...ionsInVBA.aspx for specifics on UDFs -- Gary''s Student - gsnu201003 "James C" wrote: I would like to insert 1/5 as a fraction header for a column.
