How do I turn off automatic date function in XL?
"Duke Carey" wrote: Should be a simple matter of changing the cells' format from Date to Number Select the cell(s) giving you trouble, press Ctrl-1 or use the menu to select Format|Cells, then select the Number tab and change the format to Number or General I am in the process of entering values into a Microsoft XL Spreadsheet and one of the coumns associated the value 2.13 with February 13th. This is very frustrating since I cannot accurately sum the rows or columns with a date in it. How do I turn off the function that automatically puts a date into the column? The help section notes how to turn it on, but not turn it off. I had it entering numbers the whole time, so why the hell did it change to dates in the first place? Vista sucks ass, when this computer dies I'm switching to Mac. Darin. |
