How do you create a string literal in excel?

I have the following which needs to go into excel:

MovieID
-eodII2h

However, when I type it in, excel tries marking this up as a formula, and gives me:

#NAME?

Is there a way that I can skip the normal excel formatting on a cell, or if not, how to do a string literal in a cell?

Put a simple quote before the minus sign, like: '-eodllH
