I would like to know if it is possible to take the value from two cells and
calculated the value and have the information displayed in the calculating
cell as both what is being calculated and the calculated value.

Example

C3 = 5
C2 = 10

C6 = C3/C2 and would show 50%, i would like it to show "(10/5) 50%"

With 3 in A1 and 12 in B1, this formula =B1&"/"&A1&" = "&B1/A1 displays
12/3 = 4
However, you will not be able to do arithmetic with the result
best wishes

Benard, thanks is there any way to make that 4 show up as a percentage?

Try this:

="("&C3&"/"&C2&") "&TEXT(C3/C2,"00%")

The result is (5/10) 50%

If you REALLY want 10/5, switch it how you want.

Barb,

Thanks for your help, the last part of the equation is i am trying to
conditionally format the cell so that the answer coordinates with a color, is
it possible to do this with this formula.

So far the formula is returning exactly what i want, but the conditional
format isn't working.

How do you want to format it?

for example if the outcome of the division is 1 to .75 i would like the cell
color to be green, if it is .74 to .5 yellow, and .49 and less red. i was
using the conditional format for this before, however i guess with the
formula you gave me it dosen't return a direct answer to the cell. If there
is anything you can do, i would greatly appreciate it.

No it doesn't.

Try something like this for your condition.

=AND(C3/C40.75,C3/C4<1)
