Google Sheets offers a variety of formatting options to customize the appearance of cells, text, numbers, and other elements within a spreadsheet. Some common formatting options include:
* Font Style and Size : You can change the font family, style (bold, italic, underline), and size of text within cells.
* Cell Background Color : Customize the background color of cells to highlight specific information or organize data visually.
* Text Color : Change the color of text within cells for emphasis or clarity.
* Borders : Add borders around cells or cell ranges to separate data or create visual boundaries.
* Number Formatting : Apply different formats to numbers, such as currency, percentage, date, or time, to display them in a preferred style.
* Alignment : Adjust the horizontal and vertical alignment of text within cells (e.g., left, center, right) for better readability and presentation.
* Cell Padding : Increase or decrease the spacing between cell content and cell borders for a cleaner look.
* Wrap Text : Wrap long text within cells to fit the column width and prevent it from overflowing into adjacent cells.
* Merge Cells : Combine multiple adjacent cells into a single larger cell to create headers or labels across multiple columns or rows.
* Conditional Formatting : Apply formatting rules based on specific conditions, such as cell values, to automatically format cells with colors, icons, or other styles.
* Data Bars and Color Scales : Visualize data using data bars (horizontal bars within cells) or color scales (graduated color fills) to highlight variations or trends in numerical data.
* Sparklines : Insert miniature charts or graphs directly within cells to provide visual representations of data trends.
* Strikethrough and Text Effects : Apply strikethrough, subscript, or superscript effects to text for additional emphasis or formatting.
* Cell Protection : Lock cells or ranges to prevent them from being edited by others, helping to maintain data integrity and security.
