SYMPTOMS

This behavior is different from the behavior of the Repeat command on the Standard toolbar in earlier versions of Microsoft Excel.

WORKAROUND

To repeat formatting that you applied to a cell, do either of the following:

On the Edit menu, click Repeat Format Cells.
```
    -or-
```
Press CTRL+Y.
