The long date format from 2007 to 2010 added the day
so
Monday, October 1, 2010 instead of October 1, 2010

Does anyonw know how to modify the default format so this doesn't give me the ####### error with regards to column widths?

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.
Never mind.

Found the solution was in my regional settings.

This occurred when I recently updated to Windows 7 & Office 2010.

In case anyone else has this problem

Control Panel - Date & Time - Change Date & Time - Change Calendar Settings and then adjust as necessary.
