Excel fraction not a date
It does not matter if its VBA or on the worksheet:
Sub frac()
Selection.Formula = "= 1/4"
Selection.Value = Selection.Value
End Sub
The space makes it a fraction and not a date. Format the cell to carrry the
proper number of digits in the numerator and denominator.

How do you get excel to use a fraction as a fraction and not a date? I am
using a function that returns a fraction as a string. I then copy it and
paste it in a new cell as value.. I have tried formating the cell as a
decimal, as a fraction, it just keeps it as text or views it as a date....
any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
