Excell- am stupid and need help figuring out how to write in cell
 
I need to know how to be able to write in a cell box without having it change
to a formula or some other figure.

Exactly what are you doing and exactly what are you getting. Be specific on

Excel will take it that you are typing a formula. HTH Otto

Try formatting the cell(s) as text before typing in your data. Format/Cells
- select Text.
