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!?

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
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
