Don't autoformat my dates

Guest

Excel always autoformats my dates and doesn't let me choose to 'Undo
autoformatting.' What's worse about it formatting my dates is that it
doesn't let me customize my date. So if I want to enter the date 30 January
2006 as Jan 30, it won't let me. It only allows specific date formats and if
I choose to do general formatting rather than Date formatting, then it gives
me some odd number.
