Disable conversion of two numbers with hyphen as date in Excel

July 14, 2014 by Admin 3 Comments

Microsoft Excel has a feature that automatically coverts two numbers separated by hyphen in to a date formatted value. For example if you type 6-7 in a cell, Excel would reformat this in to a date value as 7-Jun. But if you do not want to reformat then you can use any of the below mentioned solutions to disable this feature.

Solution 1: Prefixing the values with apostrophe

The simplest solution is to add apostrophe before 6-7. This would display the typed value without reformatting it.
