    Turning fractions in to decimals

    In the attached file, I copy the fixtures and odds in to column A. In column B and C, I would like the Home and Away odds to show as decimals. Column D shows the difference between column C and B.
    Column B is deducted from column C to show a higher number for the home team in column D. A negative number in column D would indicate and advantage for the away team.

    I don't know the formlua to convert fractions to decimals and place them in the appropiate columns.

    If someone could help, I'd be most grateful.

    Thank you.

    No, I use Google Sheets but couldn't find a way to download the file. I'm using the Excel app I have on my computer.

    I can't find the version in User Information but it's part of Microsoft 365 if that's any help?

    That is the version! Please add 365 to your profile.

    If you want this to work in Google Sheets, then I shall move this to the appropriate section for you.
