Hi :)
Errr, you could format the cell as a text cell, perhaps just by typing in
'10/30
The ' mark lets Calc know the cell is text.

Unfortunately i think that means the 10/30 can't be used in formulas! :(  Btw Excel does the same 
thing jic you were wondering.

Tom,

If a1 has '10/30 entered the work around is to use value(a1) in any formula that requires a1 to be a number.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] prevent automatic reduction of fractions


Readers,

Is it possible to prevent calc from automatic reduction of fractions?
For example for a cell formatted as data type 'fraction':

10/30

becomes

1/3.

How to stop this behaviour, so that '10/30' remains the values in the cell?
