When I write a formula referencing a table, Excel is placing a return character after each left bracket. This started about a week ago and I don't know what event happened that changed the behavior. Happens consistently with any formula that references any table. I have to make the formula bar much larger than necessary to edit the formula.

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

Hey 99DodgeRam,

Have you recently updated\installed any new addons to Excel or made any changes to the settings? If not something to try would be to do a repair of Excel and hopefully it will fix this.

My coworker figured it out....for whatever reason, I had a Carriage Return in the Column Header ergo the CR is returned in the formula.
