Number versus text format
We have an application that downloads data into Excel. The project numbers
are in this format: 10-14-09. When the download is executed, the project number shows up as a date and there is no date format that comes in this format: 10-14-09. Is there any way to accomplish this? |

Number versus text format
While importing choose the format of the incoming column as TEXT
or add a ' before the project numbers in the program sending the data. "Chuck Bennett" wrote: We have an application that downloads data into Excel. The project numbers are in this format: 10-14-09.
