    I need help with a formula for cricket stats!

    I am putting together a spreadsheet to record stats for my cricket club. My problem is when I am inputting the bowlers overs, if they have bowled an odd number of balls, I cannot find the right formula to add them up correctly.

    For those who aren't into cricket. A bowler bowls an over of 6 balls, but in one game he may bowl 1 over, of six balls, and then only completes another over of, say 3 balls. The following week he does the same, but balls 4 balls in his 2nd over. Therefore, he has bowled 3 overs and 1 ball or as is commonly shown 3.1. My problem comes when the computer tries to add up 1.3 and 1.4! I get 2.7. I have tried separating the overs and balls, but still get the same problem when adding them together and dividing by 6!

    I am sure there is a way to solve it, but I can't see it! CAN ANYONE HELP!

    What you could do is us the little know fraction format for cells.

    Enter the following in some cells
    1 1/6 ie 1 space 1/6
    1 3/6 etc

    When you add these up, they will sum correctly.
