title: String Fraction to Value in VBA
body: <p>How can fraction as a string be converted to a numeric value?</p>
  
  <pre><code>strFrac = "3/2"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Currently doing by splitting string to get numerator and denominator.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim x() As String
  x = Split(strFrac, "/")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then using <code>Val()</code> and dividing.</p>
  
  <pre><code>v = Val(x(0)) / Val(x(1))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>result: v = 1.5</p>
  
  <p>Is there a more direct approach?  Would be nice if something like <code>Val("3/2")</code> would work.</p>
