When adding "04-91" in a cell, then selecting a different cell... the
formatting converts my edit from "04-91" to "Apr-91. How can I change this
formatting to keep my edit to 04-91? Please assist.

You could try one of theses:

1)FormatCellsCategory: select TEXT

or

2)Precede your entry with an apostrophe (')
Example: A1: '04-91
Will ignore the apostrophe and display the remaining text

Do either of those help?



Regards,
Ron

Either prefix your entry with an apostrophe:

'04-91

or preformat the cell (or whole column???) as text.
