If I double click on that cell, I can read the text that is written in there. But otherwise, it just shows up as "###########." Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Google hasn't helped me out. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2009:site.113520 Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:49:29 -0800 excelformac resolved textformatting visual mechanic http://ask.metafilter.com/79063/Eliminating%2DHyperlinks%2Din%2DExcel%2DX%2Dfor%2DMac Probably ridiculously obvious Excel question: how do I set it so that a URL is <em>never</em> turned into a hyperlink? It's really as simple as that, I don't want hyperlinks in a spreadsheet ever, I don't ever have a need to click a link in Excel and go to a website. I don't want properly formed URLs that I put into a spreadsheet to turn into hyperlinks at all, but even if it's a sheet by sheet or column by column fix, that's fine, I just can't find out how to do this at all. Oh, I should note that this is using Excel X for Mac. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.79063 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 12:06:30 -0800 excel excelformac formatting hyperlinks mac Dreama
