(I'm using MS Excel 2003 (11.8120.8122) SP2)
Please change the priority of Text Only to override the process by which
Excel flags cell addresses. True, "HP2" is a potential cell address, but
"CCC2-0307, HP2-0106" is not, especially if the cell is set for text only.
It is exasperating to have to change an entire database just because Excel
insists on reading text with potential cell addresses as actual partial
formulae.
Again, designating a cell/column/row/worksheet as Text should override any
automatic search by Excel for cell addresses. The other option is to be able
to disable this searching process in the Options menu.
