Hello,

I am attempting to extract both the numerator and denominator of a fraction into separate individual cells.
For example, a fraction of 209/69, I am seeking your assistance in a formula that can have the 209 and 69 in two separate cells. The fraction varies from one digit in the numerator to three digits in the numerator.

I have been using =LEFT(TEXT(MOD(A1,1),"#/##"),FIND("/",TEXT(MOD(a,1),"#/##"))-1) for the numerator and it is not working constantly with differentiating numerators.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank you

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
Numerator
=LEFT(TEXT(A1,"###/###"),SEARCH("/",TEXT(A1,"###/###"))-1)

Denominator
=MID(TEXT(A1,"###/###"),SEARCH("/",TEXT(A1,"###/###"))+1,3)

With the fraction cell being formatted ###/##
