Hi all,

This might seem easy to you established excel users, but i am finding it impossible to add fractions in excel,


let say i am adding 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 but the fraction parts i am usuing the symbols in excel, does excel recognise its own symbols? or is there a certain procedure for this, i do not want to type in the fraction part of the sum as i am copy/pasting from another source, but i have tried to add the su,s in excel thinking it was the data i was pasting, however i know differently now.

anyone have a solution.
Many Thanks and happy easter all
