    Cut and pasted numbers change in new box.

    Hi. I feel kinda dumb asking this question but I am new to excel. I am making a spread sheet for our company products.I was going along fine then I was trying to copy and paste the barcode numbers from one column to the next and it would put is different numbers. When I double clicked on the new box with the weird numbers I could see the proper barcode numbers but when I left that box it reverted to the crazy numbers... I know I must have hit some button to make it do that??

    Hi Jan and welcome to the forum,

    Check the Format of those two columns. If you format a column as Date it will look much different than if you format it as a number, even thought they are the same.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.
