I have some data in an excel workbook generated from a report.
The cell contents should be '++XYZ' but when I look in the excel workbook it is being shown in the cell as '=++XYZ' and I get the value of the cell being #NAME? as Excel is trying to uae this as a formula.
I'm guessing the issue is that Excel is interpreting the '+' as a formula and automatically adding the '=' in the front, but the source data opened in a text editor, definitely shows only '++XYZ' and not '=++XYZ'
Any ideas on how to make excel see this as text?
