Best Answer

Any alphanumerical characters including punctuation marks is recognized as text in Excel, but digits alone would have to be formatted as text so the spread-sheet does not regard them as calculation values. Even then I have often found it necessary to precede a digit string with the single apostrophe (as for example, '1234 not just 1234). This apostrophe is recognized automatically as a control-code and does not appear on screen or in print.

How to open Excel file in dos editor?

A DOS editor is not capable of reading a standard Excel file. An Excel file must be opened with Excel or some application that can read Excel files. Text editors are not capable of doing that. They are designed for working on things like text files.If you have a standard Excel file and save it as a text file, then text editors can open them. All that will be in that is pure text, and not things like formulas and calculations and formatting etc. When you are saving as a text file, save it with a txt extension and most text editors will be able to open it. How you specifically do it will depend on the particular text editor you are using.
