We don't always return d->formatted, even if it is available. And depending on the cell type, we'd either overwrite it directly or free first. Let's always free it upfront and then set unconditionally. (In this case, we don't need to spend effort on preserving the existing value. It's just a cache.) Setting the variable directly allows many temporary variables to be eliminated. Also use asprintf_safe() to simplify the allocation of the buffer. This is probably a tiny bit slower than the direct allocation, but table formatting shouldn't be a hot path.
