I copied a column of data and pasted it in another column, the letters are now red instead of black and it wont let me fix it. Does anyone know what is going on here!?
 

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
might be a number of things. i thought just doing a ctrl+C ctrl+V would copy and paste the cells formats with the data, but in case it didn't try copy the original column again, right click the destination column with the red text, select paste special, then paste formats and click ok

Any conditional formatting on the destination column?
