Cells are changing format from numeric to date automatically
 

Amy,

If a formula in a cell is referencing a date then excel will try and be
helpful and format the answer as a date or if the cell is simply a number and
the cell has previously held a date then once again Excel will try and be
helpful. In either case format as GENERAL or whatever format you want.
