How can I find formatting sections?

RE: Formats

Hi Lisa

Thank you for your question.

Could you clarify your requirements for me please. In particular.

1. Do you want to alter the formats for specified ranges?
2. Do you want to find cells with specified formats
3. Do you want the formats in a cell to change depending on its value?

Regards

Stephen

RE: Formats

1. Do you want to alter the formats for specified ranges?

I need to understand them first.

2. Do you want to find cells with specified formats

Yes I tink thats the term, I want to understand what I do to find formats and how I find the glossary and language of the formatting.

I have just implemented an excel sheet at work for my stamps, we dont have a budget but I have a few columns and rows incorporating amt of stamps, total they cost, along with who spends what amt per day (if any) on stamps, and I would like to monitor and combine the value of the stamps to go down with the total, therefore I can see how much I have in stamps and cash.


3. Do you want the formats in a cell to change depending on its value?


I need to understand them first. How do i find out what they mean?

RE: Formats

Dear Lisa

Thank you for attending Excel courses!! I hope you enjoyed the courses and benefited from them.

Further to my colleagues request would you please elaborate your query? Do you want to use the Format as Table feature that allows you to manipulate data easily and efficiently?

Kindest Regards

Excel tip:

Creating custom lists

In Excel if you type in January in a cell, you can then copy this cell to replicate Febraury, MArch, April etc.

This list has come from Tools- options and Custom lists.

Therefore to save time and create your own list you can click on New (in Tools and custom list tab) and type out the lsit that you want copied quickly.

All you have to do is then type in the 1st word and you will be able to copy the rest of the list quickly.
