    Custom Number Formatting

    Hi all,

    I am interested in having my excel sheet reflect my prices in /32's so i did the format that i saw while browsing the interenet which is "# ??/32" The issue arrives when the number above in the equation is not a fixed number. So for example:

    Price(Decimal) | Price(32's) | Excel Output
    97.484375 97-15.5/32 97-16/32 ====> So thats a pretty big issue

    97.53125 97-17/32 97-17/32 ====> Only work when number is not a decimal...


    So thats is my issue, hope somebody can help me out. Thanks a lot!

    If you don't need to do math on the output, then instead of a custom format you can try the formula:

    =INT(A1)&"-"&TEXT((A1-INT(A1))*32,"##.0")&"/32"

    This will create a text string in the format you're looking for (e.g. 97-15.5/32).
