Problem
In the 1st column, 1st row, we put 12/1 and it changes to 12-Jan.
In the 1st column, 2st row, we put 12-1 and it changes to 12-Jan.
Question
How do I stop this from happening?
Solution(step by step)
Select cells that needs to be filled with 12/1 and 12-1.
On higlighted cells click right-click.
Next go to Format cells…
Under the Number bar, look into the Category selection
Set Text as selection, and then Ok.
1
2
Number->Date
Number->Number
12-Jan
12/1
12-Jan
12-1
Example:
Put inside the table 1, “6/1” and “6-1”. If it looks like a Table 2, you’ve resolved the solution, and it will be written TRUE. Otherwise it is going to stay at FALSE so you should read again, and go step by step through solution.
