Input a number to not display as a date
hello! I have ran into this problem a few times when I'm trying to get a
number to appear, i.e. 3-30, and it automatically changes it into a date, 30-Mar. I've gone in and formatted and reformated the cell as a general number and it automatically changes back to date....errrrrrrrr. |

Enter it with a preceding apostrophe, '3-30. The apostrophe will show in the
formula bar but not in the cell, Regards, Alan. "Ms Veco Indiana" wrote in message ... hello!

Thanks! I knew it was something like that! I'd tried " and ^ from Quattro,
but they kept appearing! Thanks! "Alan" wrote: Enter it with a preceding apostrophe, '3-30. The apostrophe will show in the formula bar but not in the cell, Regards, Alan.
