Excel 2003

[Guest]

When I try to enter firgures into a few cells in the spreadsheet, it keeps
showing the # sign when I go to the next cell. I can reselect the cell with
the # signs in it and the numbers reappear but it automatically goes back to
the # sign when I exit that cell. This is only happening in 3 or 4 cells on
the sheet. What gives?

The # symbol usually appears if the cell is not wide enough to display all
the characters.

Try widening your column to fix it

Try making the column wider.

.... or the font smaller?
