Normal Text in Formula
Hey I was working on something and I cant figure out how to put normal text into a formula, for example: COUNTIF(A1:A5, "SOLD")/COUNTIF(B1:B5, "ITEM") I want it to come out like this: 3/5 but of course it divides the two numbers.... Anybody know? -- exutable ------------------------------------------------------------------------ exutable's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28665 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535403 |

Normal Text in Formula
Hi
The another option is to format the cell as Fraction - the the result remains a number. -- Arvi Laanemets ( My real mail address: arvi.laanemets<attarkon.ee ) "exutable" wrote in message ...
