QUESTION - in an excel spreadsheet, when I put HSA in a cell by itself, why does Excel insist on converting it to "HAS" (& what can i do to keep it HSA)?

one responce - I have no idea-I just played around with it. The only thing I can say is to type it in, don't hit tab or anything just go up to "save as", name your spreadsheet and see if it keeps it in.
my responce - I appreciate the work around, but it didn't work for me (did it for you?) ... one thing I found I could do (though it somewhat compromises the itegrity) is I typed "HSAs" ... making it plural holds (also, putting a period before it, but then it wouldn't filter properly).

another responce - Go into the setups for spell check and click on "ignore all capital letters"
my responce - Interesting. I'll try it just to try it, but unfortunately I'm doing the prep work on an acronym database (SO, the letters ultimately need to be capped)..

Thanks for help !!

Hi..

Excel's AutoCorrect feature is trying to "help" by correcting your supposed typo.
