Hi all,

I am currently using Excel 2016 and it happens to me when I create a new tab in particular workbooks (not all), the default number format will become date rather than general. I see an old thread here with similar issue but the solution no longer works for Excel 2016. It is honestly painful as I need to change number format every time and this workbook is bulit with VBA.



Is there a way to fix or I would have to rebuild the whole workbook?

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
