excel clear sets format as accounting












0















In a specific workbook when i use Clear > All or Clear > Formats Excel sets the number format to Accounting instead of General.



This does not happen in other workbooks. It seems that Excel is using Accounting format as the "normal" format for this workbook.



Does anyone know if it possible to set the "normal" format for a workbook in Excel?
