Does anyone know if there is a specific ratio function in Excel 2010. I am doing a Financial Performance assignment and the ratios need to be presented on an Excel spreadsheet. The straight calculations are fine, but how do I get the result presented in ratio form in the reslt cell?
Any help would be appreciated.

No, as in .86:1. The formula for caclulating the 0.86 is easy, but then getting it to display in ratio format in the target cell is driving me nuts.
