Thanks!
Could you please advise how to stop/fix changing data from numbers to date format, as it does in my excel file frequently.
regards,
Kumhar.
Unfortunately, there is no way to stop Excel autocorrecting numbers to dates. You could pre-format the cells as text before entering data (right click Format Cells> select Text; or enter an apostrophe before typing your number). Here is a link to some other options.
It should have been part of Excel all along and after the latest version, it is even better.
I feel guilty every time I use it. I will just have to buy the full program, because if the free stuff is this good I cannot imagine how good the rest of the software must be. The date-picker alone is worth the money.
Thanks a lot to the developers! Great work and thanks for the webinar as well.

Will this webinar be recorded or are you planning on setting up another webinar at a future date? I am unavailable on Saturday.
We plan to record this webinar and I will update this page as soon as I get the video (1-2 days after the webinar). So, keep in touch!
