Features:

- Allows only numeric typing.

- Auto inserts and always shows separators according to the format.

- Can foresee some logical typing.

- Can correct any illogical typing.

- Illogical end of a month is corrected in the proper month not trying to resolve in possible format types like VBA CDate and DateValue functions do. For example: 02/31/05 is corrected to 02/28/05 not 02/05/1931.

- Auto activates when selecting or double clicking unlock cells with date or decimal number formats.

- You will immediately perceive how easy it becomes to enter dates and decimal numbers, but you might not notice any difference in Excel interface, if it didn’t deliberately put a small blue mark at the top right corner of the cell cursor.

- If you have installed a recent version of the Popup Calendar for Excel, that small blue mark become red and, if it’s clicked, pops up the calendar to pick dates (Date picker). Similar behavior for the Popup Calculator for Excel.

- You can disable and enable quickly while editing a sheet via the mouse right button (Context menu) or by a button in the Excel Standard toolbar (Ribbon Add-ins tab in Excel 2007 or newer). A menu of options appears to disable all or for specific disablements: Disable for Dates, Disable for Decimal Numbers, Disable when Selecting, Disable when Double Clicking, Disable in Page Break Preview, and Disable in Page Layout View.

Add-in Options to Install:

This utility can be available to be installed in three options of add-ins: EXE Add-in, COM Add-in, or Excel Add-in. COM Add-in and Excel Add-in run on Windows in the same process or memory space of Excel and are well detailed technologies in Excel documentation and good books about VBA, while EXE Add-in is a special name here for a mix of those two technologies where the same VBA code is run in separate EXE process and a small Excel Add-in makes the connection between the two processes. Despite the differences in the technologies, this utility is fully functional in any of them. So, what can decide on your choice to install are the features below compared:
