Don't autoformat my dates
Excel always autoformats my dates and doesn't let me choose to 'Undo
autoformatting.' What's worse about it formatting my dates is that it doesn't let me customize my date. So if I want to enter the date 30 January 2006 as Jan 30, it won't let me. It only allows specific date formats and if I choose to do general formatting rather than Date formatting, then it gives me some odd number. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Precede entry with an apostrophe, won't be numeric but it will accept what
