Default Help: Modulo... not... quite...right...

Hey all good helping people.

I am trying to create a Modulo function to fill out a round/pick
calculation in a draft type spreadsheet.

Specifically, I want the value: 1 to show as 1:1 and the value: 12 to
show as 1:12.

The formula that I have now is: =ROUNDDOWN((P3/12)+1,0)&"/"&MOD(P3,12)

(where the number is in P3)

The formula works fine, until I get to the value of 12, then it
calculates to 2:0 and not 1:12 (which is my goal).

Do I need to add some if/then logic for when the modulo =0, then
subtract one from the 1st part, and set the second part =12? Or is
there a better way?


Nevermind, I'm going with this:

=ROUNDUP(P3/12,0)&":"&IF(MOD(P3,12)=0,12,MOD(P3,12))
