Hi All,

I have a normal XL file generated by an application as output. There are
cells in it containing decimal numbers stored as text, e.g. "5.2".
When Opening this file XL converts strings recognizable as a date to dates,
like 2007/5/2.
What can I do to keep the original string "5.2" or convert it to a real
decimal number?

Regards,
Stefi
