What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
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
