Prevent conversion to date format
Hi,
In VBA, how can I set a cell to '1-0' without it being converted to date format such as Jan-00? I don't want a macro either. I'm actually generating Excel spreadsheets with Tcl and not VBA, but the VBA answer should suffice. Thanks, Bob |

Manually, you said you don't want a macro
Select cells and Numberformat (ctrl-1) Apply the 'Text' item, or type a @ in Custom or with code rng.Numberformat = "@" Regards, Peter T "Robert Lipman" wrote in message ...

Prefacing the entry with an apostrophe makes it a label and the following
snippet inserts the entry in the currently active cell: Application.ActiveCell.Value = "'1-0" -- Kevin Backmann "Robert Lipman" wrote: Hi, In VBA, how can I set a cell to '1-0' without it being converted to date format such as Jan-00?

Bob I'm confused, you said you don't want a macro so I showed how to do it manually, but also I posted the equivalent VBA code. Regards, Peter T |
