Hello I need to turn a fraction around, for example I have 1/3 but I need to present as 3/1
 

Excel Facts

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
The format in column L is in Fraction format 1/3, this is the one I need to take and turn around to show the denominator and numerator 3/1

I missed that when I posted my answer. To etaf's point... please show us the formula in L4 which is the value we think you want inverted.
The formula is a division =J4/F4 the result is 1/3 the format of cell L4 is in fraction and I need to present 3/1

J4/F4 it works as it should the result is 1/3, but I need to present as 3/1, I need to change the denominator to the numerator
You did not look at the formula I posted carefully enough... I have the J4 and F4 reversed. I'll show you again...

=F4/J4

Try it to see (still set the cell format to Fraction).

That is correct is the result I have, but I need to present 3/1 instead the 1/3, I need to keep the formula because the file is reviewed for accuracy and need to keep track of what I am doing

i'll drop out now as Rick Rothstein has the answer
as I thought the format was TEXT as asked in first post and not formatted is a fraction
