Hello,

I have got a strange excel work book. In this workbook when ever I insert a new worksheet, format of all cells in this sheet is expected as General. However I find all cells in it are having date format.

I do not know why this is happening. I tried to crating a new wroksheet copying all data in this but this problem remains there.

Please help me,

Thanks,

I am having a similar issue - but all of my Cell Styles in this workbook are very odd. (1; 1 2; ??[0]_VERA; ??_VERA; 20% Accent...) When I try to rename the first option to "Normal" it tells me I already have a cell style with that name, but none of the options show "Normal". Any ideas???

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
