Good idea. I did check it and it does format the cell as
text, but maybe it needs an extra step (I will also need
to right-align it as the apostrophe will left-align it.
Sorry - just thinking out loud.). Thanks - I'll try it!

Have the Macro add an apostrophe before the number. This
will change it to text.

Help, please?

I have a user who has a column of accts payable numbers
and a total at the bottom (=Sum). When a payment is
made,
she wants to be able to bold a number and tell Excel not
to include it in the total at the bottom.

I've created a macro to bold the current cell and format
it as text instead of a number. The cell that is now
text
should not be calculated the function, but it is. What
am
I doing wrong?

Thanks!
