[Solved] Cell edit reverts to previous value

Post by cwillson »

I'm trying to make edits to a basic spread sheet of information.
Sometimes the sheet will try to fill in what it thinks I want. Other times I change the case of certain characters in a cell, and as soon as I click off that cell they revert back to their previous case.

For example: The existing text might be 987564PLdt. I change the letters to plDT, but it reverts as soon as I hit enter or click away.
If I add a space before the letters it stays, but this is not optimal.
