Answer: show fractions rounded up to nearest 1/16th inch
Yes, there is a way to have the same cell of input to show a result rounded up to the absolute nearest 1/16th of an inch. Here are the steps:
- Select the cell or cells that you want to format.
- Right-click and select "Format Cells".
- In the Format Cells dialog box, select "Fraction" under the "Category" list.
- Under the "Type" list, select "Up to two digits (1/4)".
- Click "OK" to close the dialog box and apply the formatting.
Now, any input you enter into the cell will be displayed as a fraction with up to two digits, rounded to the nearest 1/4 inch. However, since you need to round to the nearest 1/16th inch, we need to take an additional step.
- Select the cell or cells that you want to format.
- Right-click and select "Conditional Formatting".
- In the Conditional Formatting dialog box, select "New Rule".
- Under "Select a Rule Type", select "Format only cells that contain".
- Under "Format only cells with", select "Cell Value" and then "greater than or equal to".
- In the value box, enter the formula "=ROUND(A1*16,0)/16" (assuming the cell you are formatting is A1).
- Click "Format" and select the formatting you want to apply to the cell when the condition is met (e.g. a different font color or background color).
- Click "OK" to close the dialog boxes and apply the formatting.
Now, any input you enter into the cell will be displayed as a fraction with up to two digits, rounded to the nearest 1/16th inch. If the input is not already a multiple of 1/16th inch, the cell will be formatted with the additional formatting you selected in step 7.
