displaying fractions in a concatenate formula
If I have a formula that concatenates text and numbers, for example, =concatenate("The average of ",A1," and ",A2," is = ",(A1+A2)/2) and I want the formula to display the "(A1+A2)/2" part as a fraction. The values in A1 and A2 will be integers. Can this be done in a non-VBA way? I'm using Excel 2003. Thanks in advance, Dave. -- DavidObeid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DavidObeid's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2238 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564534 |

Thanks in advance, Dave. ="The Average of"&A1&" "&A2&" "&"is= "&(a1+a2)/2 should work notice the spaces -- davesexcel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davesexcel's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31708 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564534 |

="The Average of "&A1&" and "&A2&" "&"is= "&(A1+A2)/2 this could work better -- davesexcel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davesexcel's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=31708 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564534 |

Thanks, I tried it, but it didn't work. Here is (exactly) what I got after entering 3 in A1 and 4 in A2: "The Average of3 4 is= 3.5" -- DavidObeid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DavidObeid's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2238 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564534 |

Thanks again, but now I get this: The Average of 3 and 4 is= 3.5 I'm still not getting the 3.5 to read as 3 1/2 -- DavidObeid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DavidObeid's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2238 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564534 |

Use
="The Average of "&A1&" and "&A2&" "&"is = "& TEXT((A1+A2)/2,"# ??/??") You may want to use more ??? depending on what you want for the denominator.
