IN EXCEL 2003 HOW DO i GET A CELL TO BE 4-0 INSTEAD OF APR00
I am setting up an inventory sheet and everytime I try to enter 4-0 under
size it comes up APR 00 and when I do 5-0, I get May00. How do I change the column so it allows 4-0 or 0-0? |

Pre-format the cells as Text or preface the 4-0 with an apostrophe which won't
be visible. Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 1 Nov 2006 16:34:02 -0800, TWMMAM wrote: I am setting up an inventory sheet and everytime I try to enter 4-0 under size it comes up APR 00 and when I do 5-0, I get May00. How do I change the column so it allows 4-0 or 0-0? |

Hi Gord, Not sure what you are using the data for - but to change the format of this one you need to right click on the cell and go to FORMAT CELLS/NUMBER. Scroll to the bottom where it says CUSTOM. On the right hand side of the FORMAT CELL box in TYPE: enter m-h. That will change APR00 to 4-0. Hope this helps. Have a great day! Jenni |
