how do i format multiple cells

RE: formatting

Hi Sandra,

Thank you for your question - I hope you enjoyed the training you had.

To format multiple cells you need to highlight the cells that you wish to format first. Do this by holding down the left mouse button when the white across appears over the starting cell, and then dragging the mouse across and down the cells you wish to format.

Then go to Format>>Cells, and choose the type of formatting you require. For example to make all highlighted cells appear with 2 decimal places, under the Number tab click on Number. Make sure the Decimal Places box says 2, and then click OK. All of your highlighted cells should now have that formatting applied to them.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post.

Have a great day.

Regards,

Nicole.
