()
About this ebook
It's not enough to enter information into Excel. If you really want to work effectively with your data, you need to format it.
That could mean anything from adding borders so that your document looks good when it prints to adding fill color in the header row of a table to simply formatting your numbers as currency or percentages.
So if you're ready to learn how to format the data you enter into Excel, then this is the guide for you. It'll show you how to do all of that and more with clear, easy to follow instructions.
The Easy Excel Essentials series of titles are meant to cover one specific topic of interest to users who know the basics of how to navigate Excel but want to increase their knowledge in that one particular area. If you want to increase your Excel knowledge in a more general way, see the Excel Essentials series which consists of Excel for Beginners, Intermediate Excel, and 50 Useful Excel Functions. In that series, formatting is covered in Excel for Beginners.

Hi there Sci Fi fans, my name is Maurice Humphrey.I am a Vermont native, husband, father, grandfather, well over 60, Navy veteran, retired IBM engineer, retired printer repairman, Graduated: Goddard Jr. College, VT Technical College, and Trinity College. Over the years I’ve written technical articles, taught technical classes, and presented at technical conventions.I’ve been reading science fiction for over 50 years now. First books were “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” by Jules Verne and “The Stars Are Ours” by Andre Norton. I’ve read and collected many great stories, and a considerable amount of junk ones as well. I’d say by now that I probably have a good idea of what I consider a good story.

Introduction
In Excel for Beginners I covered the basics of working in Excel, including how to format in Excel and how to print. In Intermediate Excel I covered a number of intermediate-level topics such as pivot tables, charts, and conditional formatting. And in 50 Useful Excel Functions I covered fifty of the most useful functions you can use in Excel.
But I realize that some users will just want to know about a specific topic and not buy a guide that covers a variety of other topics that aren’t of interest to them.
So this series of guides is meant to address that need. Each guide in the series covers one specific topic such as pivot tables, conditional formatting, or charts.
I’m going to assume in these guides that you have a basic understanding of how to navigate Excel, although each guide does include an Appendix with a brief discussion of basic terminology to make sure that we’re on the same page.
