Subtracting not Dividing
I have several cell that each contain (2) numbers separated by "/".
i.e. 1/5, 7/29, 5/187, 42/169 etc. I want to subtract the numerator form the denominator not divide them. The results would be: 4, 22, 182, 127 Can someone help with this? Thanks! -- Tony S. |

in B1 =MID(A1,FIND("/",A1)+1,10)-LEFT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-1) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "Tony S." wrote: I have several cell that each contain (2) numbers separated by "/". i.e. 1/5, 7/29, 5/187, 42/169 etc. I want to subtract the numerator form the denominator not divide them.
