Dear Colleagues,
I am importing a file from Peoplesoft into Excel 2003. There is a green
triangle in each cell. I tried to change to format to General, so that I
could use a formula to copy the last five digits to the next column. For some
reason the text will not right align. When I tried to copy/paste the imported
data via the Taskpane to another part of the spreadsheet, the green
trianangles disappeared and the formula worked. But this is cumbersome.
Does anyone have any ideas on changing the formatting without going through
the copy/paste routine?In fact if I use Ctrl C and Ctrl V, then the green
triangles appear. I only works by using the Taskpane which is inconvenient.
Thanks.
