Hi there!
Quick question regarding the 'e' function that Excel seems to apply automatically.
I have +/- 3000 rows of data, which all have an unique indentification-number. Some of them exist out of 8 numbers, others contain 5 numbers, then a letter, and then two more numbers. The problem now, is that some of these letters are an 'e'. Excel interpets this as "First 5 numbers times E to the power of two numbers", which (of course) causes problems for me.
Is there a way to disable this option? I think I know my way around a formula that I can apply to work around it (Some thing like IF(FIND("E";A1)=TRUE;CONCATENATE(LEFT(A1;5);"E";RIGHT(A1;2);A1) (assuming the code is in A1) I guess), but if course it would be a lot easier for me to simply disable this option.
Does anyone know if it is possible, and if so how to do this.
Thanks in advance!
Henk
