Alphanumeric Data Lw U Alphanumeric data is any combination of characters (letters, digits, and other characters) used as a label to identify the entries of the spreadsheet. It is usually as a column heading, such as "JAN." or "12th Region". This data is not to be calculated. Format Marks If the label data begins with an alphabetic letter, it is assumed that this data is not to be calculated. In this case, the data is placed flush left in the cell unless a flush right or centering format mark is used. If the label begins with any of the following: + - ( 1234567890. it is assumed that this data is to be calculated. In this case, a format mark must be used in order to identify this data as a label and not as a number to be used in a calculation.
