Default Getting rid of the date


I'm trying to get rid of the date, it is already on another part of the
spreadsheet. The problem is that everytime I enter a set of numbers
such as 2/2 or 2-2 the date will appear. How do I get rid of this?

Precede the entry with an apostrophe or format as text before you enter
anything

Never mind, I found the answer by search through the forums. Just put an
apostrophe in front of the number. Thanks anyways.

This appears less of a hassle than putting an apostrophe in front each
number. Thanks for the help!
