MS Excel

Hello All!
 
I m having an issue with alignment of text in Excel 2003.
I would enter a column of numbers, and then highlight the column. I then press , then go to 'alignment' and change the settings.
However, for some reason the settings only apply to some of the cells in the column, not all of them! Even using the shortcut icons on the toolbar doesn't work either. I m puzzled...
 
What's going on?

    Are you sure all the numbers (cells) have the same format? For example, if some cells are formatted as "number" or "currency" but others are set as "accounting", they won't align the same way. When formatted as "accounting", numbers always align flush-right, regardless of whether you select flush-left or center for that column/row.

    It should be a green (looks black) triangle in the upper left. It indicates an error in the formula. Are there formulas in the cells?
