Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / August 2007

Since you make no mention of it I'm guessing, but I'd say you're using
Windows-based systems - this group is Excel for Mac :) Not that you aren't
welcome here, but it sounds like a browser issue & IE for Mac is defunct.

It could have to do with browser version - are you possibly using a newer
version of IE on the LT? If the versions are the same there may be a setting
involved but I can't help you there. Doubt that it's an Excel issue though,
but it will help to indicate whether the file is downloaded as an Excel
file, a text file, etc. or whether it's coming into an Excel worksheet as
the direct result of a web query.

One suggestion as a workaround - If by "labels" you you mean that the
figures *are* going into cells but being treated as text - type the number 1
into an empty cell, copy it, then select the cells with the wayward content
& use Edit> Paste Special> Multiply to convert the text numbers to values.
You'll probably lose the currency formatting but that's easy reapplied.
