fraction into date
hi all members...
I have excel 2007 and when I enter a number like 6/33 it turns it into Jun-33. this number 6/33 is being copy from one note 2007 and pasted into excel. I have tried to manipulate it but to no success and have checked out 'excel options'. can someone please help. I thank all for your time and advice and look forward to a reply. many many thanks. Paul.

Try formatting the target cell as Text BEFORE copying
OR: add an single apostrophe before that value: '6/33 Micky "pm_sam" wrote: hi all members...

Paul. Display numbers as fractions works, but Excel insists of converting the answer to lowest common denominator, thus 6/33 becomes 2/11. Bill
