    Nonetheless, values in Excel worksheets will show as ##### if the column width is insufficient for the value. The simple solution is to find the largest value. In your case that would probably be 12/31/2023 so adjust the column width for the whole series to be as wide as necessary to show 12/31/2023. If you place your cursor over the vertical column divider and double click, Excel will automatically expand the column width so the value shows.
