Answer 2

Answer:

INTRODUCTION

Number formats control how numbers are displayed in Excel. The key benefit of number formats is that they change how a number looks without changing any data. They are a great way to save time in Excel because they perform a huge amount of formatting automatically. As a bonus, they make worksheets look more consistent and professional.

Explanation:

What can you do with custom number formats?

Custom number formats can control the display of numbers, dates, times, fractions, percentages, and other numeric values. Using custom formats, you can do things like format dates to show month names only, format large numbers in millions or thousands, and display negative numbers in red.

Where can you use custom number formats?

Many areas in Excel support number formats. You can use them in tables, charts, pivot tables, formulas, and directly on the worksheet.

Pivot Tables - via value field settings

Charts - data labels and axis options

Formulas - via the TEXT function

What is a number format?

A number format is a special code to control how a value is displayed in Excel. For example, the table below shows 7 different number formats applied to the same date, January 1, 2019:

Input Code Result

1-Jan-2019 yyyy 2019

1-Jan-2019 yy 19

1-Jan-2019 mmm Jan

1-Jan-2019 mmmm January

1-Jan-2019 d 1

1-Jan-2019 ddd Tue

1-Jan-2019 dddd Tuesday

The key thing to understand is that number formats change the way numeric values are displayed, but they do not change the actual values.

Where can you find number formats?

On the home tab of the ribbon, you'll find a menu of build-in number formats. Below this menu to the right, there is small button to access all number formats, including custom formats:
