Date               	Wash	Detergent	Ratio
August, 01 2018      	6       	4	3:2
August, 02 2018      	5       	3	5:3
August, 03 2018      	4              	2	2:1

D2=

=B2/GCD(B2,C2)&":"&C2/GCD(B2,C2)

Hi,

Actually you Already have your ratios in your Table, Columns B and C.

Now if you want a specific ratio, like "how many washes per unit of detergent" or vice versa, then:

Book1
	A	B	C	D	E
1	Date	Wash	Detergent	Ratio (# Wash to Unit of Detergent)	Ratio(Unit of Detergent per Wash)
2	August, 01 2018	6	4	1.5	0.67
3	August, 02 2018	5	3	1.67	0.6
4	August, 03 2018	4	2	2	0.5
5	August, 04 2018
6	August, 05 2018
7	August, 06 2018
8	August, 07 2018
9	August, 08 2018
10	August, 09 2018
11	August, 10 2018

thanks guys, i want to know if the number of detergent is getting lower than the number of wash everyday, do you think by knowing the ratio will help me?

Column E in my sample is telling you it's getting lower.

Edit: So to clarify, as you can see in Column E, we started with 0.67 unit of detergent per wash, then 0.6, then 0.5

You're welcome.

Looking at your question in Post #4 again, I'm not so sure I understood correctly.

So the downward trend in Column E Only means people are using Less detergent per wash, it doesn't mean that your business is going "downhill", see additional sample (August 4) below:

Book1
	A	B	C	D	E
1	Date	Wash	Detergent	Ratio (# Wash to Unit of Detergent)	Ratio(Unit of Detergent per Wash)
2	August, 01 2018	6	4	1.5	0.67
3	August, 02 2018	5	3	1.67	0.6
4	August, 03 2018	4	2	2	0.5
5	August, 04 2018	1000	375	2.67	0.38
6	August, 05 2018
7	August, 06 2018
8	August, 07 2018
9	August, 08 2018
10	August, 09 2018
11	August, 10 2018
