Default Would like to display 1-30 in cell

Type an apostrophe first then the 1-30

Or pre-format the cells to Text.

Typing in the term 1-30 in a cell always returns the date Jan-30. I
understand date formatting but I would like to display the term 1-30. The
next cell is 31-60 and displays properly. How do I do this. Thankyou.
