excel - Force format of data input by user as text -
i have excel sheet user can enter data several cells. want data treated strings, regardless if user enters "hello" or "123" or "12.12.2012".
i partially resolve issue formatting input cells "text". if user enters number such "123" or string looks date ("12.12.2012"), appears small green rectangle , excel says number stored text, that's want. same thing text "1.2.90" in cell a5 seen excel "date stored text". text "aa" in cell a4 ok.
when click on exclamation mark icon, can choose ignore "error", removes green triangle, change content of cell putting number, green triangle appears again.
green field formatted "text"
is there way force excel leave data entered string ?
non vba version
you can switch off error tracking file tab. read it, check ms link.
vba version
to using vba, need switch off backgroundchecking
using application.errorcheckingoptions.backgroundchecking
example
application.errorcheckingoptions.backgroundchecking = false
