In excel 2003, where just tested it now, if I select certain cells, and then off format menu, choose cells... and then on numbers tab/page, I can specify that it's a general number, currency, etc. etc.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Another excel question


I was filling in a spreadsheet for Bingo, yesterday, and a strange thing happened.

I should explain, first, that my spreadsheet covers money dispensed during bingo, plus other related factors.

I added a new column, "Number Of Games".

I had Six dollars left in the bank, which I notated.

The number of games played was 6. When I wrote in the 6, It came up as six dollars, responding to the entry of the same listing in another column.

How do I change that second six dollars into a just plain six, which sites the number of games played?
