Excel is set up to pick up any formatting from above, but from my experience 
it is not consistent.

Create a table, and apply an AutoFormat. Add data to the end, and sometimes 
it will pick up the formatting from above - shading, bold, coloured fonts, 
etc.

I believe the setting is found in Tools - Options - Edit tab, and is called 
Extend Data Range Formats and Formulas.

Why in the world would changing a cell's format from "General" to "Text"
prevent a cell fill from changing from clear to light gray upon having
text in it? I've combed the Help topics, and can't find an answer.
