Problem with date - can't enter 15th!
I have excel 2003
I have a spreadsheet and on one worksheet I enter the date that documents are turned in. the cells are formatted to date and to show up like 1/10 Problem: I can't eneter 1/15! I can enter 1/14 and I can enter 1/16 but if I enter 1/15, it changes to 1/16 as soon as I either hit enter or click into another cell. what's up with this?? |

Hi,
What is the format that you are actually applying to the cell. In other words when you are on a formatted cell and choose Format, Cell, Custom what is the code in the Type box? -- If this helps, please click the Yes button Cheers, Shane Devenshire "Meenie" wrote: I have excel 2003 I have a spreadsheet and on one worksheet I enter the date that documents are turned in. the cells are formatted to date and to show up like 1/10 Problem: I can't eneter 1/15!

Either preformat the cell as Text, then do the data entry.
Or Start your entry with an apostrophe: '1/15 Meenie wrote: I have excel 2003 I have a spreadsheet and on one worksheet I enter the date that documents are turned in. the cells are formatted to date and to show up like 1/10 Problem: I can't eneter 1/15!

I went to "format" picked "date" and chose the example that showed "3/14"
I didn't pick "custom" or a format that isn't a date. "Shane Devenshire" wrote: Hi, What is the format that you are actually applying to the cell.

I tried the apostrophe and it still changed from 1/15 to 1/16,
I tried changing the format to "text" and it still changed!! this is too weird! "Dave Peterson" wrote: Either preformat the cell as Text, then do the data entry.

Look at Tool / AutoCorrect Options to see if there is an entry that accounts for
what you are seeing. Meenie wrote: I tried the apostrophe and it still changed from 1/15 to 1/16, I tried changing the format to "text" and it still changed!! this is too weird!

Hi,
Tools|Autocorrect options enter 1/15 on the left hand side and if you see 1/16 in the replace with box the delete the entry.

I think it's the autocorrect, too.
But I misread your message. I thought you wanted to enter 1/15th, not a real date. Don't use the text or apostrophe stuff.

The autocorrect works. And it was for the number 15! It had it to be replaced
with 16. How would that get in there?? Thanks! "Glenn" wrote: Look at Tool / AutoCorrect Options to see if there is an entry that accounts for what you are seeing.
