Default Calculating ratios: Is there a formula that can do this?

Hi,

You could use a fraction format, fractions are ratios. For example the
following custom format (Format, Cells, Number tab, Custom and enter code on
the Type line)

?.0":"1

would display 2.5 as 2.5:1

And the number can still be used as a number in calculations

4:1 and so forth? This would be a great analytical tool.
