4.3.1 Treating Numeric Entries as Text

   

Note that some numeric entries, such as phone numbers, should really be treated as text. For example, if you enter the phone number 555-1212 in a cell, NExS will display the number -657, the difference of 555 and 1,212. However, if you start the string with the apostrophe ('555-1212, for example), NExS treats the phone number as text and does not calculate it.
