mexcel,

There is a way to custom format a ratio, however it will be based on a hard
code number format. For example, all ratios will be one to five for example
(1:5).

Assets: 100,000
Liab: 20,000
Ratio: (=A1/A2) 1:5

Basically, you would create a custom format. FormatCellsNumberCustom.
In the Type box, place "1:"0.0. This will display 1: in front of the
calculation.

Hi, Does anyone know how you format leverage (financial leverage) in excel.
It's typically represented as 1:5 (instead of .2).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
