Ms Excel auto converts (570) to
Answers
Microsoft Excel is preprogrammed to make it easier to enter dates. For example, 12/2 changes to 2-Dec. This is very frustrating when you enter something that you don't want changed to a date. Unfortunately there is no way to turn this off. But there are ways to get around it.
Preformat the cells you want to enter numbers into as Text. This way Excel will not try to change what you enter into dates.
If you only have a few numbers to enter, you can stop Excel from changing them into dates by entering:
A space before you enter a number. The space remains in the cell after you press Enter. (See Notes)
An apostrophe (‘) before you enter a number, such as ’11-53 or ‘1/47. The apostrophe isn’t displayed in the cell after you press Enter.
A zero and a space before you enter a fraction such as 1/2 or 3/4 so that they don’t change to 2-Jan or 4-Mar, for example. Type 0 1/2 or 0 3/4. The zero doesn’t remain in the cell after you press Enter, and the cell becomes the Fraction number type.
hope its helps
