Excel-How Do I prevent data conversion to date format
I am trying to input symbolic numerical data that includes forward slashes ie
"5/5" in a simple excel spread sheet. However when I do so, it converts the input into a date format ie: "5-may" or "5/5/07" Furthermore. Even if I erase the content from the "evil" cell in question, any future integer value ( ie: " 5 " ) entered in to that cell is converted to a date format. How do I prevent this from happening and/or disable this function in excel. Thanks for any and all help. |
