hi
entered as 1/2, helpful excel is interpting this as a date. you will have to enter it some way so that excel will not interpt as a date enter an apostrophe before the 1/2 ie '1/2. excel will view this as text use some other method. ie 1\2 or 1|2 regards FSt1 "Dena" wrote: I need to enter 1/2 meaning 1 or 2 in a cell but it just defaults to 01 Feb and I cant seem to bypass this.

Enter a space then 1/2 -or- Enter a single apostrophe then 1/2 -or- Format the cell as text then enter 1/2 -or- If you want 1/2 recognized as a number then enter 0 space 1/2 -- Jim Cone San Francisco, USA http://www.realezsites.com/bus/primitivesoftware (Excel Add-ins / Excel Programming) "Dena" wrote in message I need to enter 1/2 meaning 1 or 2 in a cell but it just defaults to 01 Feb and I cant seem to bypass this.
