Hi

I have the same problem and this is not an answer. When I type in a fraction
I do not want it reduced to the LCD. How do I stop Excel reducing to the
LCD. I am using Excel 2000.

You can create a custom format:

<Format <Cells <Number tab,
Click on "Fractions", and choose your format.

Hi,

Is there anyway to prevent Excel from reducing fractions? For example,
I
need 2/4 to appear in my spreadsheet, but Excel is reducing it to 1/2.

Thanks,
V
