1) In File > Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options... > AutoFormat As You Type tab, make sure that the check box "Fill formulas in tables to create calculated columns" is ticked.
2) Clear the colum n in the table (except for the header of course), then enter the formula =MONTH([@[Completion time]]) in the cell below the header. Excel should automatically fill the entire table column.

did the same thing as you advised in point 2 and submitted a new response and still received the same error.- HansVogelaarOct 20, 2021MVP
Do you mean that Excel spontaneously enters the fixed number 36 in a column with formulas?

HansVogelaar No, the value keeps changing and its not a fix number. As you can see the value has changed from 36 to 53.
