How do I stop Excel from 'interpreting' my data?
Hi, does anyone know how to get Excel to stop trying to interpreting my data?
I regularly need to input data in the fractional form (13/5, 12/24, 11/5119, etc) that then needs to be presentable AND manipulatable. If I type in as is, the number gets interpreted as a date; if I format as text, the data is no longer capable of being plugged into functions; if I format as a fraction, excel interprets and simplifies the fractions and only allows for three figure denominators. Does anyone know how to get Excel to just trust me that I know what I'm inputting? |
