EXCEL: FORMATTING CELLS QUICKLY

If you want to quickly set the format of a single cell in Excel, select the cell and then right-click it. When the pop-up menu opens, select Format Cells to open the Format Cells dialog box. Once in the dialog box, you can click the Number tab to set up the cell's format. While you are at it, you can also set Alignment, Font, Border, Patterns, or Protection. Make your selections and click OK to record your choices and close the dialog box.
