I am learning how to use Excel 2007. I have successfully entered column
headings with a view to keeping a record of crown green bowling scores.
However, when I enter 21/12 in an appropriate column it changes to
21-Dec.
How can I ensure that this does not happen?

if you want to calculate with the values put them in 2 cells. If not
format the cell as text before you enter the data.
