Entering combos without converting it to dates?
I am trying to enter locker combinations in an excel spreadsheet. However,
excel keeps converting these automatically to calendar dates. How do I turn this function off?! |

Entering combos without converting it to dates?

If you format the column as Text first, Excel will leave the figures as they are. An alternative is to put an apostrophe ' before each cell entry. Andy. "pkroper22" wrote in message ...

1) format the cells to text fbefore entering the combos or 2) Enter the combo's with a leading ' Regards Dav -- Dav ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dav's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=27107 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=517288 |
