WHY DOES 1E4 TURN INTO 1.00 E + 04? THANKS
I'm doing data entry in excel and in my "location" column I can type 1d4,
1d3,1c3 just fine but when I try to put in 1e4 it turns into 1.00 e + 04 when I hit enter. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Lisa |

1e4 is recognised as scientific notation for numbers in excel. To force
text: a. have the cell pre-formatted as "text" (Format...Cells... on the menus). or b. put a single quote at the start. '1e4 instead of just 1e4 Best Andrew |
