Format in Excel 2016
Combining text and formatted values
The Excel TEXT function enables you to specify numbers and date format.
Allow specific users to edit ranges in a protected spreadsheet
Excel offers you an ability to assign user-level permissions to different areas on a protected spreadsheet.
You can specify which users can edit a particular range while the spreadsheet is protected. As an option,
you can require a password to make changes.
Share workbook and track changes
With Excel built-in tools you can easily work together on workbooks and monitor who, when and what changes
made. E.g., track project status and tasks.
Protecting spreadsheet elements
Working with large and complex Excel workbooks, especially when entering large amounts of data, no one is
protected from accidental changes in formulas, formats, and other spreadsheet elements. But you can protect
yourself from too much work on finding and eliminating such errors by protecting the individual spreadsheet
elements.
How to protect spreadsheets
You can significantly reduce the number of errors in data entry in Excel by protecting changes of specific
spreadsheets (worksheets) and cells.
Changing a spreadsheet tabs color
Color code is a perfect way to identify content and draw any attention to it. In Excel, you can easily change
the colors of one or more spreadsheet tabs.
AutoCorrect for data entry
You can use Excel's AutoCorrect feature to create shortcuts for commonly used words or phrases.
Locking cells in a spreadsheet
Sometimes you might want to lock cells in your Excel spreadsheet that contain formulas and functions or
data. Thus, the person doing the data entry will not accidentally overwrite or delete the spreadsheet
formulas and functions or your data.
Recalculating the worksheet
If you are working with huge workbooks that contain a very large number of formulas, functions, and data,
you can turn off automatic recalculation.
Paste results into cell without formulas
You may not always want to copy everything from the source cells to the destination cells. For example, you
may want to copy only the current values of formulas rather than the formulas themselves.
