If it is a number that is in the cell that is not wide enough, Excel will fill the cell with # symbols.

What will happen if the Fill Handle in Excel is used to drag from a cell containing date formatting?
If there is a date in the cell, it will copied. If the cell is blank, but has date formatting, it will apply date formatting to all cells it is dragged to while also blanking out any content in those cells. If you then type a number into any of those cells, they will show as a date. Remember that dates start from the 1st of January 1900, so typing in a number will convert it to a date counting from that point. So, for example, if you typed in 5, it would put the date as the 5th of January 1900. If you typed in 10000 it will have the 18th of May 1927 as the date.
