If you want to input say a telephone number into excel how do you stop the programme thinking it is a formula?

RE: Numbers in excel

Hi Rachel,

Thanks for the question.

There are two ways you can do this. Firstly you can change the setting of the cell to 'text' and then you can type in the number. Alternatively you could start the cell with an apostrophy (') this will cancel out the =.

Good luck

Tracy
