Custom format for credit card number

S

Schmacker

I created a custom format for credit card numbers using
XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
But when I key a number into the formatted cell, the last (rightmost)
digit converts to zero.

So when I enter, for example, 5511246190465589 the cell displays
5511-2461-9046-5580.

Any ideas?

Precede the credit card number with an apostrophe ('). This will
not show up in the cell, but will display in the formula bar.
