Catherine:

Why not make it simpler.

In a1 put 10
In a2 put 1
In a3 the formula =1+A2/A1

No doubt guru Steve will have another idea!!!!!!

Hi,

Thanks - this kind of helps but not really as I've realised I don't
want Excel to treat 10/1 as a piece of text or date, but rather as a
fraction.

Basically what I'm wanting to do is make it convert odds expressed as
fractions into odds expressed as decimals.  So if I type 10/1 in cell
a1, I then want to do a formula in A2 which is a1 +1.  Whatever the
fractions are I put in row 1, I want it to do a sum on them and add 1.

I've also now realised that even if I just type 10 it converts it into 10
Jan...
