Iris,

If you mean just enter 1:4 in a cell then precede the entry with an
apostrophe or custom format the cell as h:m

I am trying to find a way to express a fraction as a ratio 1:4, I have
tried
programming it simply to look like a fraction (using the format
cells/custom
option) but this doesn't work. I am using the 2000 version.
