Disable Date Recognition
Is there any way within Excel whereby I can disable date recognition? I
often copy data from an HTML page and paste it into Excel. Even if I select 'paste special'/'text', I still have problem with data like 10-12, and 5/6. I can overcome this by importing data/new web query/options/disable date recognition, but it appears to be a bit long-winded compared to copy/paste. Thanks. |
Highlight the column where the date is going, right click, format cells, go
to the number tab and choose the format you would like the date in. "Saxman" wrote: Is there any way within Excel whereby I can disable date recognition?
