Formatting cells is not retained when saved as csv file
Hi!
When I create a new worksheet and format the cells as "text" so it retains my input exactly as I input it & save it as a comma delimited csv file, close it, reopen it, my formatting is not retained. I went to this web site http://exceltips.vitalnews.com/Pages...CSV_Files.html and followed the instructions, but the last instruction said to save as .csv again, but after that, it still looses the formatting upon reopening the file. Example: I input data = 11200000000000000000 I save as .csv & when I reopen it now displays as: 12233E+19 And it doesn't retain any leading zeroes. I even put a single apostrophe in front of the leading zero, it isn't retained. I don't ever remember having this problem with older versions of Excel. Can anyone help? Thanks! |
