Cell Formatting

Post by jstevens »

Is it possible to turn off the cell formatting popup. I have a number of cells that have a little popup in the right side of the cell. The message displayed is: The number in this cell is formatted as text or preceded by an apostrophe.

Select File > Options.
Select Formulas in the navigation pane on the left.
In the "Error checking rules" section, clear the check box "Numbers formatted as text or preceded by an apostrophe".
Click OK.
Best wishes,
Hans
