repeating text
I have a spreadsheet where text in column of cells started repeating in each
cell. No formulas are entered in any of the cells. For example cell B3 shows descriptiondescriptiondescriptiondescription when "description" is only entered once. Cell B4 shows 42x10242x10242x10242x10242x102 when 42x102 is only entered. Any ideas? -- todd fabman |
