Entering a hyphen
Hi, this must be a pretty basic question, please excuse
my lack of knowledge. I right click a cell in Excel, select Format - Text. Next double click the cell and enter a hyphen. Excel adds stuff like "F28" after it. Can I stop Excel doing that and have the cell accept any character I want ? Thanks - Kirk |
