Thank you. This was very helpful. I used your info and completed all of my
remaining columns of data. (I had to put in several additional fractions
multiplying the denominator by different terms.) I have one last quick
question:
Is there anyway to keep excel from reducing the fraction to lowest terms?
(Ie - 2/4 to 1/2)
Thank you so much for your assistance - I really appreciate you taking the
time to answer my question.
