Hi all,
When I format a cell as text and I put there for instance 4 October 2008
Excel handled this as a date, but that's not what I want. I know when I
type
a quotation mark (') in front of 4 October 2008 then it will be seen as
text
but I don't want the customers to type a ' in fornt of all the dates.
Thanks for the solution in advance ;)
