My excel if formula will work in a blank excel sheet but will not work in the excel file from the data dump. I have converted text cells to general but it still will not work. When I open the file it says the file you are trying to open is in a different format than specified by the file extension, which is shown as xlsx. Any ideas?

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.
Yes, it's saved as xlsx and it still does it. Part of the formula contains cells labeled as text, but I have changed them to general and also tried number.
