yes this can work, I recommend that you copy the cell out to somewhere, I
usually use a notepad screen and just plop it there JIC!
the reason is is that if you select certain formats or excel decides that
"that number is a..." it will shift the contained number to one fitting that
format, which can be a problem since not all numbers translate back quite
right,
so, you can while changing the format make a date become a oddly formatted
number, and then when you tell it to change it back, your computer turns on
its web cam, looks at you, and says "huh, you want me to do what? nuh uh,
not happening!"
a little safety can go a long ways to keep frustration down!

You Excel people will have to decide if this tip works or not. The only
thing I use Excel for is to keep track of donations to the web site, so
pretty basic stuff.

Daily Tip:
Excel: Change Decimal Places (Number Format)
To change the decimal places in a built-in number format, click the
drop-down arrow next to the format in the Number group of the Home tab.
Click Currency, Accounting, Percentage, or Scientific and then enter the
number of decimal places you prefer in the Decimal places box.
Daily Term:
cache card
A board inside the computer that provides quick storage. Some computers
have built-in cache cards; others have slots where a cache card can be
installed.
