    Microsoft fixed something and made their products better!? I don’t believe you.

    I wonder if this will fix any of my issues with excel molesting my data. It will either round my part numbers from a BoM making it useless or removing preceding zeros which breaks our inventory importing.

      yes, those two “autofixes” are “fixed” now. (it’s a opt-in setting)
