[FREE EXCEL COURSE] Lesson 3 – Data Formatting in Excel

This video covers the basics of data formatting in Excel.

You can format data in Excel to make it look better and to highlight some data points.

For example, if you have data-set and you want to highlight the negative numbers, you can simply highlight it in red color to it.

Here are some of the common formatting I use to make my data look better and more readable

— Applying borders to all cells
— Making headers bold
— Giving a background cell color to headers.
— Center align the headers

You can find these options in the ‘Home’ tab in the Font category.

Collapse The Colossal Excel Search Box – 2279

I have two great things to report about Excel. First, the old Tool Tabs in the Ribbon have become smaller. I love the new style and it makes perfect sense. Second, I have a bit of a rant about the questionable Microsoft Search box that is now dominating the Title Bar in Excel. Who is using this? Why are they making it so large? Great news part 2: If you plan to never use the Search box, minimize it to a tiny icon.
