Default Cell formats keep changing

00:00:00 format
00:00:00 formats

so far it would be hard to tell the difference. hh:mm:ss AM/PM shows 12
hour time, hh:mm:ss shows "military" time (0 to 24 hrs), [hh]:mm:ss shows
"military" style time but is designed for time greater than 24 hours -
possibly total or elapsed time

Pulling information and populating - vague terminology that doesn't provide
much insight into what you are doing or how you are doing it.

Is there a way that I can prevent cells from changing
format when I enter information? On my spreadsheet I am
pulling information from different worksheets but when the
data populates, the format changes. If I am pulling a
general number, it changes to 00:00:00 format, and when I
am pulling time format, it switches from the two different
00:00:00 formats. I don't know what the difference is in
the two of these formats listed, but I know that I need
the second one. Hope this makes sense. tia
