What is Excel Date Playing At?
I wanted to put a date into a field, but did not want it formatted. In fact it could just represent any 6 digit number; not a date at all.
So I put 050811 (today's date the British way DD MM YY)
And Excel in its infinite wisdom changed it to:
10/02/2039
I despair!
It has done this before, which is why I did not want to put " / / " in the number.
But why would a 6 digit number be formatted and changed to a totally different date?
And how can I turn it off please?
thanks
