Can not put date in cell
Hi,
I am trying to transform at lotus-worksheet to excel, simply by opening the file in excel and saving as xls (which normally works just fine). When I try to enter a date in one of the cells I get the following error message: "The formula you typed contains an error". Anyone know why I get this, and how it can be fixed? I do not enter any equal sign or something that should make the cell believe I am trying to enter a formula. Using Format-Cells and choosing Date does not help either. Brgds, |

You may want to show what you typed.
And if you have some of the lotus transition settings turned on, that could be a problem: Tools|Options|transition tab uncheck all those lotus options and retry your entry. wrote: Hi, I am trying to transform at lotus-worksheet to excel, simply by opening the file in excel and saving as xls (which normally works just fine).

Yes indeed, the transition settings were on and by unchecking them the
file worked fine. Thanks! |
