Fractions in 16ths format - reducing to LCD

[Guest]

I have data in millimeters and converting in aanother cell to inch fractions
in 16ths format (result must be in 16 increments). How do I reduce to LCD - I
do not want to see 8/16 but do want 1/2.

Round your result to the nearest 16th, and format the cell as a fraction with
up to two digits.

To round:

=ROUND(your_formula*16,0)/16

Format code:

# ??/??

This works too:

=ROUND(your_formula/16,0)*16
