I typed in =NOW()
and the cell displayed "1/6/20161/6/2016".
Checked cell format and conditional formatting and nothing seems amiss. What can cause this?
edit: as shown in the image below, I cannot recreate the anomaly outside of this column. Whether I copy/paste or type in =NOW()
the result is the same.
This is caused by setting the Text alignment Horizontal property to "Fill" in a cell that is sufficiently wide enough to allow the text string to be displayed twice.
This is why in the screenshot columns B:C do not display the date twice; they have a lesser column width.
