That's Excel being over helpful - or for other uses, very helpful
If you want 10/30 as text then type an apostrophe (single quote) before 10/30 OR format the cell as Text before typing If you want to divide 10 by 30 then enter =10/30 If you want a fraction then type 0 10/30 best wishes "Joe" wrote in message ... when I type in a cell example 10/30 and click on the next cell it turns the first cell to oct30 and I don't want this |
