Hello Patrick,

You must use a formula for this as it can't be done with formatting alone.
You could use something like this ...

=INT(A1)&" - "&(A1-INT(A1))*30

...assuming your number was a valid number and resided in A1, and that you
always wanted it expressed in n/30.

...
I would like to display a compound fraction, but i only want the whole
number
and the numerator of the fraction to be displayed.

For example:
5- 14/30
displayed as: 5- 14

thanks for any help
