Perplexed with this numbers formatting....Help Please!!! :)
- What you need to do is enter cell editing mode by double click on the cell C31 or press F2, then just press enter.
For the cells C32-C34 you need to change the format from Number to text.

Hi Jihad Al-Jarady
Thank you for replying to my inquiry. I appreciate your prompt response.
I'm not sure I follow what I need to do to format the cells. The log that was attached is the old log. I am in need of how to perform the formatting to a new worksheet that I developed from ground zero. I don't want the task of logging the number to the cell to be burdensome for the end user. I would like for them to enter the number as they see it on their paperwork and continue on without having to insert special characters to reference the text (i.e.: the apostrophe before the number).
Would you know how I would format the cells to accomplish this?

C31 is recognized as text. Check with ISTEXT() or ISNUMBER().
Solution: Goto C31, press F2, press ENTER.
