When I type a number into a cell, Excel automatically creates a date from it,
even if it is just one number like 10 or 4 or 1 or 7. How can I get this to stop, it is very annoying because I can't enter just a number into the cells without it turning into a date unless I put a * or some other symbol before or behind the number. |

Thanks that works, is there a way to turn it off in the settings or not?
Would be nice if there is because then I wouldn't have to do this all the time.

Does this happen with all worksheets on all workbooks?
New sheets? New Workbooks? Sounds like all cells are formatted as Date.

I am having the same problem. It is happening on all sheets, all workbooks.
I have even reformatted to numbers multiple times, saved, and when I reopen, they are once again dates. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Does this happen with all worksheets on all workbooks? New sheets?
