T T. Valko Aug 5, 2009 #3 Either pre-format the cell as TEXT or, precede the entry with an apostrophe like this '5/5.

A AltaEgo Aug 5, 2009 #5 Try entering an inverted comma before the fraction. '5/5 Or did you want Excel to evaluate the fraction? if so place an equals sign first =5/5

D David Biddulph Aug 5, 2009 #6 Doesn't that display as 39938/1 rather than 5/5 ? Formatting as d/m would display as 5/5, but of course it would still be a date.
