Default How can I write a fromula to subtract 1/4 from 1/2 and so on?

I tried what you said,guess I just don;t get it.
All I want is to cut the amount in 3/4, 1/2, 1/4.

There is a trick to entering and using fractions. To enter 1/4 use:

= 1/4

Note the single space after the equal sign. This means you won't have to
waste time converting all you fractions to decimals.


You should also checkout the CONVERT() worksheet function. It makes it easy
to convert tablespoons, teaspoons, cups, pints, quarts,etc.
