Ratio Formula
thanks. i was wondering though... the numbers i'm working with are large, and
is there a way where it would turn into more of a "smaller" ratio? ex: 10:500 would turn into 1:50 "Toppers" wrote: =a1 & ":" & a2 or =a1 & "/" & a2 "jayseeca" wrote: i have 2 columns with large numbers, and i'm kinda looking for it to show up in the cell looking like this: "184:3930" or "184/3930" thanks!

You'll need the Analysis ToolPak installed for this. Just click on TOOLS --
ADD-INS -- Check "Analysis ToolPak" -- OK Then you can use this formula: =A1/GCD(A1,B1)&":"&B1/GCD(A1,B1) HTH, Elkar "jayseeca" wrote: thanks. i was wondering though... the numbers i'm working with are large, and is there a way where it would turn into more of a "smaller" ratio? ex: 10:500 would turn into 1:50 "Toppers" wrote: =a1 & ":" & a2 or =a1 & "/" & a2 "jayseeca" wrote: i have 2 columns with large numbers, and i'm kinda looking for it to show up in the cell looking like this: "184:3930" or "184/3930" thanks!

Try this:
=A1/HCF(A1,B1) &":" & B1/HCF(A1,B1) A1 and B1 are your numbers Put the VBA code below in a general module: Function HCF(ByRef n1 As Long, ByRef n2 As Long) Dim n3 As Long Do n3 = n1 Mod n2 n1 = n2 n2 = n3 Loop Until n3 = 0 HCF = n1 End Function "jayseeca" wrote: thanks. i was wondering though... the numbers i'm working with are large, and is there a way where it would turn into more of a "smaller" ratio? ex: 10:500 would turn into 1:50 "Toppers" wrote: =a1 & ":" & a2 or =a1 & "/" & a2 "jayseeca" wrote: i have 2 columns with large numbers, and i'm kinda looking for it to show up in the cell looking like this: "184:3930" or "184/3930" thanks!
