Left-click on a blank, unused cell somewhere off screen and then left click
on the PaintBrush icon in the tool bar, then Left-click on the cell that's giving you trouble.......that should clear it and return the cell format to general.

Select Format-Cells and determine the formatting of the cells in which you
are entering your numbers. It will probably say Date, "x/x/xxxx". Just change the formatting to whatever you need, such as "General." "excelSOS" wrote in message ...

The other option is what is your date seperator in windows, is it a comma, change it to a / and your problems may disappear!

You might check Tools Autocorrect, and look to see if you have an entry to
replace the period with a slash.......if so, just highlight it and Delete......

I would say, go into formatting and select text. Hope this helps.
