When you use the fill handle it will copy what is in the cell including the formatting.

copy button
Click on any cell, or click and drag on any range, then release. There will be a small black square in the lower-right corner of the cell or range. That's the "copy" handle, or to give it its correct name, the Fill Handle. If you park your cursor over that square, your cursor will change from a big white plus sign to a smaller black one. This is the copy cursor. If you click and drag to extend the range, it will do a sort-of-intelligent copy of the existing cell or range into the new area. I say "sort of intelligent copy", because if your cell contained the word "January", it will copy "February", "March", "April", and so on. If your cell contains "Quarter 1", it will fill in "Quarter 2", "Quarter 3" and "Quarter 4" before going on to "Quarter 1" again. If your selected range contains the numbers 1 and 3, Excel will fill in odd numbers.
