Thank you for your fast responses! I wish the problem was as simple as the column not being wide enough :) But thank you guys for pointing this out, it made me realize that I should be automatically resizing those columns.
The reason I wasn't copying the whole format of the first cell was because that first cell has some additional formatting (such as background color and text rotation). But after I spent too much time on trying to get just the format itself, Mark, I think I'm going to follow your advice, get the complete style of the first cell in the column but set the correct rotation and color. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Konstantin.
