Default number

the error is :"the number in this cell is formatted as text or preceded by an
astrophe", It means we must convert it to number and we can do, but I don't
want this error appear in other excel file again.How can I do?

Default number

This can be easily avoided. Before making any entries into a worksheet or

pre-formatted to General, not Text.
