Thumbs up Answer: How do I have excel convert fractions to decimals?

Sure, I can help you with that! Excel has a built-in feature that allows you to easily convert fractions to decimals. Here's how you can do it:
  1. First, enter the fraction you want to convert into a cell in Excel. For example, you might enter
    Code:
    "1/2"
    into cell A1.
  2. Next, select the cell that you just entered the fraction into.
  3. Now, go to the Home tab in the Excel ribbon and look for the Number group. In this group, you'll see a drop-down menu labeled General. Click on this drop-down menu and select Fraction from the list of options.
  4. Once you've selected Fraction, Excel will automatically convert the fraction in the selected cell to a decimal. In our example, "1/2" would be converted to "0.5".

That's it! Excel will automatically convert any fractions you enter into decimals using this method. If you have a large number of fractions you need to convert, you can use this method to quickly convert them all at once by selecting a range of cells and following the same steps.
