Default Date in cell

When I enter a dollar amount in a cell, a date appears. I must have done
something to cause this I have several previously used columns in which it
did not happen, but it seems to want to continue past the columns on working
on now too.

Default Date in cell

Hi,

I sounds like your cells have become formatted as dates. Select the affected
cells and format as general.

Tools|Format|cells
select general

Select the cells you want to change to currency display and do the following:
Click FORMAT in the menu
Select CELLS
Click the NUMBER tab
\Sselect the CURRENCY format.

Click OK when done
