How can I stop Excel from turning the number ranges I enter (eg 1.
I've been trying to put together a spreadsheet of addresses, so I need to be
able to include addresses that include number ranges - eg. 11-12 High Street or 14-16 Main Road. The problem is that in the column in which I enter the number part of the address, these kind of addresses keep getting turned into dates - so 11-14 becomes Nov 14. How can I get these to display as I've originally typed them?? Help would be much appreciated! |

You can either preformat the cells as TEXT or precede the entry with an apostrophe, like this: '11-14. The apostrophe will not be displayed in the cell. Biff "Jenny" wrote in message ...
