    The data in the (horrible) merged cell Invoice B to E 10 is formatted as text. the one below it as Gneral. If it's preformatted as text, that is what you will get. So copy B to E 11 up/down as far as you need.

    Hi,

    You might add a line of code to reset the format because the formulas will pick up the Text formatting from the source cells on the Customers sheet
