Hi
Format the column as General. If you are typing something with a slash in it, e.g. 1/4, then precede with a single quote -- Regards Roger Govier "samh" wrote in message ... |

This white space is where you ask questions.
You did not say what you mean by 'auto corrects' . If 123 becomes 1.23 then use Options | Tools open the Edit tab and uncheck the Fixed Decimals box. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "samh" wrote in message ... |
