Would like to display 1-30 in cell

[Guest]

Typing in the term 1-30 in a cell always returns the date Jan-30. I
understand date formatting but I would like to display the term 1-30. The
next cell is 31-60 and displays properly. How do I do this. Thankyou.

pre-format as text or use ' before

Type an apostrophe first then the 1-30

Or pre-format the cells to Text.

Thank you for the help. The answer was so simple that I couldn't see it. Not
even after 2 days of looking. Thank you, again.
