Thumbs up Answer: Display "/" (slash) as a character, not as an action (divide)

To display the slash as a character and not as an action, you can use the following steps:
  1. In Worksheet #2, select the cell where you want to display the numbers separated by a slash.
  2. Type the first number followed by a slash (/) and then the second number. For example, type "=Sheet1!B6 & "/" & Sheet1!C6" (without the quotes) if you want to display the values from Worksheet #1, cells B6 and C6.
  3. Press Enter to display the result.

By using the "&" symbol, you are concatenating the values from cells B6 and C6 with the slash character in between. The result will be displayed as a text string, and the slash will be treated as a character and not as an action.

Alternatively, you can also use the TEXT function to format the values as a text string with the slash character in between. Here's how:
  1. In Worksheet #2, select the cell where you want to display the numbers separated by a slash.
  2. Type the following formula: "=TEXT(Sheet1!B6, "0") & "/" & TEXT(Sheet1!C6, "0")"
  3. Press Enter to display the result.

The TEXT function converts the values in cells B6 and C6 into text strings using the "0" format, which displays the values as they are without any decimal places. The "&" symbol is used to concatenate the text strings with the slash character in between. The result will be displayed as a text string, and the slash will be treated as a character and not as an action.
