MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / September 2007Cells get automatically converted
I want to store installment details of employees in the format: 9/15, 10/15 etc.. These are text values and are transferred via .NET application to Excel. But it considers it a date and so converts 9/15 to 15-Sep, 10/15 to 15-Oct. I even searched for options to disable this, but could not find it. Please help switching this off. > I want to store installment details of employees in the format: 9/15, > 10/15 etc.. These are text values and are transferred via .NET > application to Excel.

Could you prefix the values with a single quote (')?  SignatureRegards, Chris. (Remove Elvis's shoes to email me) Try preformatting the column into which the 9/15 goes, as text before getting the info via .NET. >I want to store installment details of employees in the format: 9/15, > 10/15 etc..
