Please in the next version of Excel, let the user shutdown the autoformating.
It is very frustrating to import data in and the data gets changed. I have
an Excel spreadsheet that I get data from and there is data like "01-01-04".
This gets changed to "01/01/2004". Why your company implemented this in
Excel without the user not being able to shut it off is beyond me. At the
moment it is making me very upset. I do not want my data messed with.
Import it in like wysiwyg.

Thanks.
