Entering a hyphen into a cell
When I enter a hyphen (-) into a cell, them move out of the cell it
immediately tries to start entering a formula or function. As soon as I move out with the arrow buttons, each cell I move to keeps the dashed/dotted border. Selecting a cell and pressing the enter key creates a formula. How do I turn this off? |
