Hi
I custom formatted cells A1-A10 with #;#;-;

and when i wrote B1=sum(A1:A10), excel changed the format of B1 to same custom formatting of A1-A10, why is that? does that apply on all functions?

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple

Excel tries to be helpful. It can be annoying when it automatically interprets what I want as text and makes them dates: when 6-17 becomes 17-Jun.

You are aware that your custom formatting hides text entries?
