How do i enter the date in column instead of # sign?
 
I have recieved an Excel spreadsheet that i need to transfer data onto
another spreadsheet and when i copy the date the # sign appears. i can see it
in the formula bar line but it will not stay in the column. Is this because
this came over as an Read only.

Thank you,

Just change the formatting or try expanding the column size.
