    Angry Numbers displayed in date format

    Hello
    Have a really annoying problem I have been trying to solve for a long time: Lots of numbers are displayed in date formats on opening a workbook. This happens regardless of them being fixed values or resultant values of formulas. Seems to be totally random which cells it affects. Reformatting does not help - samen story the next time I open the workbook. Time-consuming - annoying - cryptic to other users.

    Well, I doubt we'll be able to help without seeing the problem ... What you describe is not normal behaviour, after all.
