No, Excel is to blame, because it's way too happy to convert your data into something else it thinks is appropriate. A proper system (SPSS, R, Pandas, you name it) will yell at you if you try to do nonsensical stuff.

You can choose to put it on either the sloppyness/lazyness of not having checked (double checked) data and formulas or to the decision to use Excel (possibly due the ignorance of the existence of other "better" tools).
