column formatted to general - cells keep changing to date?
In my spreadsheet I have a particular column that I have formatted to general
but anytime I enter numbers into a cell in that column, it automatically changes it to a date and I have to re-format that cell to general. |

What type of numbers?
Like 1-12 or similar? Pre-format the cells as Text or preface the numbers with an apostrophe.
