    Cell with text and number, not rounding to closest full number

    Hello

    I am sure there is a simple enough solution but...

    I have a cell that has both text and number, and even though I have formatted the cell as 'Number' with 0 decimal places, it is not returning a rounded figure (obv due to the text component). Is there a solution for this?

    E.g. =(G13-E13)/7 & " /"

    This currently gives me a result of 0.714285714285714 /, when it should show a result of 1 /

    Help!

    Thank you in advance!

    Change the formula to =(G13-E13)/7 and format as 0 \/
