Hello malmo_040 ! Try it with selecting the whole column, then press F9 to update your column settings. Additionally go to HOME Tab - Options - in left navigation you will see the common settings of your workbook. Is it set manually (F9) or automatically?
Otherwise there must a converting formula to get this done, i believe.. Greets, Eva.

Hello.
No, that doensn't work. I still have to get in to every single cell in the list and press enter. If i try to change multiple cells when I've pressed the enter key in some of them, and not in some of them, just the once I've pressed the enter key in changes to the new format.
