Default Excel changes my text

Help! When I type "HSA" into a cell, which is formatted as text, Excel
changes it to "HAS" and I can't figure out how to change this. Thanks!

this is from <tools<autocorrect options
If you use "hsa" a lot I would remove this from the autocorrect list

This is Excel's AutoCorrect feature. You can turn it off (bad idea for bad
typists like me) by ToolsAutocorrect Options and unchecking 'Replace as you
type", or by finding it in the list of entries that will be autocorrected and
deleting it

Go to ToolsAutocorrect options and look for HSA in the list and delete it
