Getting Excel to not try to coerce numbers to Date
I have a problem that plagues me persistently:
Whenever I enter what i consider ranges in a single cell ("1 - 30"), Excel will interpret that as Jan-30. I do not want this behavior. I wish Excel to format things as date ONLY if i Explicitly tell it that the value is a date (if, for example, i format the cell as Date format or enter something like "4/30/2004"). Is there anyway that I toggle off this behavior? Any help would be most appreciated. |
