Numbers auto changes

I want a thin column where I type JAN, FEB, MAR but it auto changes to spelling the full month.

Can this be stopped?

Hi billy,


Format the column as Text, then Numbers will not change the entries to the full month.

Alternatively, type an apostrophe first, as in 'JAN. Numbers will treat entries as Text.


Regards,

Ian.
