Auto Formatting Cells and Dates
I noticed that if you type in something like 3/16 excel will assume you meant
March 16th and change the cell to a date. I know you can change the format to text before you type the date in. Can you turn it off completely? Are there any options you can change concerning this feature (like the date format it changes to). Can you create your own autoformats concerning numbers other than dates? |
