Hey, wondering if the Coda team has any plans to support fractions as a number value and of course calculations against fraction values.
This is a number format that excel supports,

Hi @Juan_David_Rey ,
could you please tell what you exactly mean?
Is it referring to the number representation?
Have you had a look at LaTeX pack?

Hey @Federico_Stefanato I mean being able to store a number value in a fraction format:
Look above at the value formatting options allowed in excel.
Whats great is you can even take it further by forcing the value format to return the value in the specific fraction denominator you want:
This then allows you to perform basic math calculations using fractions (i.e. 1 1/2 - 1/2 = 1) great for businesses working with nominal values.
LaTeX pack seems more in the vein of using coda as a math blog and not performing the calculation in a column against those fraction values

I am afraid this is not yet possible @Juan_David_Rey , you can set a column as number and then select the decimal places as you see fit.
The outcome of any number driven calculation you can manipulate via Round() and related variations (Coda | Formula library)
