Default
A formula cannot change a cell's format; it can only change the way data are displayed. And, although you could set up a complicated IF test containing the CELL("format",reference) function to test a cell's format, to obtain basic information such as date, percentage, currency, etc., it can only provide limited information about how many decimal places are displayed, whether thousands separators are used, how a date is formatted, etc.
