Is it possible to display a whole number as a fraction?
(I have the cells formatted for fraction)

Here is a sample of a formula on my worksheet:

=IF(U1_Scorecard!C3=0,"", U1_Scorecard!E3*-1/U1_Scorecard!C3)

Cell C3 = 1
Cell E3 = 1

I would like to display 1/1, instead my result is 1

Mark,

=IF(U1_Scorecard!C3=0,"", U1_Scorecard!E3*-1 & "/" & U1_Scorecard!C3)
Also, if you treat it as a fraction, 2/4 will appear as 1/2, which is not
what you (quite) mean.

Nick,
Your formula works great....except if the fraction has a 0 in the
numerator it is displayed (example) /4 instead of 0/4

Sorry Nick,
The formula works fine, its my data that's exported
from Access. The reason its showing with no numerator is because there isn't
one....duh! I'll change my export to show zero's.

Thanks!

Mark,
If it has a 0, it displays correctly 0/4.
You mean if there is no value set ? i.e. blank.

In this case, it would be best to initialise all the table values to zero,
as this is the correct starting value for all.
A blank would mean "unknown" and showing 0/4 for an unknown would not
necessarily be correct.
