How to use fraction string in Excel/Calc/Sheets as formula
I am having trouble to create a proper solution for following problem.
It shall be possible to enter fractions in a excel cell, which shall be used for further calculations.
Very simplified, it should like this:
A B C
Value Fraction Result
1 120 1/3 =A1 * B1
I dont want to enter =1/3, because the cell will then display 0,33333. On one hand, it looks ugly, on the other, most people will be able to identify 0,333 = 1/3 but 7/5 or 17/4 will be difficult.
I am looking for a solution that works in Excel, OO/LO Calc and Google Sheets.
VBA is out of scope, unfortunately.
Solution
Choose cells you want to enter fractions in. Right-click -> Format cells... -> Custom -> input #/#
