How do I display comparitive ratios such as "16:2"?
 

I need a simple formula to display the ratio between 2 numbers (cells) in a
large spreadsheet. The ratio must display itself as "#:#" and be linked to a
summary worksheet within the same workbook.I will then link all 23 sheets of
information to the one summary sheet for at-a-glance comparrisons of each
department's use of tools provided to them. The 2 cells that are providing
the information for the ratio have large formulas in them. I want the cells
linked, but not directly linked to the formulas in the reference cells.

How do I display comparitive ratios such as "16:2"?
 

Hi Suz,

If I understand you correctly,
say the two cells you require to show are H6 and C34
the formula will be
=H6&":"&C34

If there is a division between these two cells to be expressed
as a ratio then you will need to supply more info.

Hi Suz!

I have the same problem. I need to show to display as 1:2. Did you figure
out how to do this???
