I am trying to store a date as yyyy-mm-dd. I however need this data to be
stored as text or 'general' and NOT convert to a date. I am importing this
data to another system and need the actual data to go in as yyyy-mm-dd and
when Excel converts this to a date it changes the underlying data and always
crashes my import.

Does anybody know how I can achieve this? I also tried to put a ' in front,
however that then gets stored in the data field and does not work either.

Thanks for the help.
