Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well.
I'm dealing with an Excel sheet that contains a set of values which are to be barcodes.
I need these barcodes in column B to be fixed either as number or text, ensuring that they are treated as text even if they resemble a date, such as '2225-03-01'.
The reason for this is that when the format changes to a date, I encounter issues uploading the file into my accounting program.
I've attempted various methods, including adding an apostrophe, adjusting the date settings in Windows, and using the TEXT formula to bind it to a date format but without being as date. Unfortunately, none of these approaches have been successful.
My primary concern is that when the CSV file is reopened, the values originally formatted as dates should still be treated as text. I appreciate any assistance in achieving this objective.
Thanks a lot for your assistance.
