Default I don't want excell to change ratios to fractions, what to do?

How can I change excell settings so that it doesn't automatically change
ratios into decimals?

example:
When 1:263 is entered into a cell, it is displayed as 0.224305556
I want 1:263 to stay displayed as 1:263 in the cell after it is entered.

What do I do?
