Hi,

Type an apostrophe ' before you enter the data. I won't show in the cell

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

You can also change the formatting of the cells before (or after) you enter
12/6.
Menu - FormatCellsNumberDate, then choose format.

Your suggestion doesn't help because the OP doesn't want a date. He wants
text.
