I have a problem that I am unable to solve by reading the help file. I have
text material in a column that contain "-", "?", "{", "*", "/", and so on (I
formatted the column as text). Excel 2007 occasionally automatically tries to
calculate the contents of this column and / or cells (for example, when I
make some changes to the text in certain cells), which is unnecessary because
as I wrote above the contents of the cells are pure text. How can I turn off
these calculations for the entire sheet (or at least certain columns)? Yes, I
know this is Excel and that is what a spreadsheet is primarily used for, but
is it possible to turn this feature off?
