    Error Checking

    When typing in a Telephony Patch reference for example 4/16, Excel is throwing up an Error Mark "This cell contains a date string represented with only 2 digits for the year"

    How do I format the cell to stop throwing up these error marks, I'm sure its really simple and is just a cosmetic issue really.

    As always many thanks for your help.

    Small example attached below.

    I opened your file and found no issues. I reformatted the first date cell as a date with the format of mm/dd and entered the date. I see that your dates are formatted as text. I was unable to recreate your issue.
