Apply, create, or remove a cell style
A style is a set of formatting characteristics, such as font name, size, color, alignment, and spacing. When you want to apply more than one format at a time to a cell or range of cells, it is easiest to apply a style. Styles also help you keep formatting consistent throughout a workbook.
Excel includes several built-in styles that you can apply or change. You can also create your own custom styles.
Apply a cell style
-
Select the cells that you want to format.
-
On the Home tab, click Cell Styles, and then select the style that you want.
Create a custom cell style
The built-in styles in Excel can't cover every formatting need, but it is easy to create a special dramatic style that is appropriate for a total that is past due, or a friendly one for a household chore list.
-
On the Home tab, click Cell Styles, and then click New Cell Style.
-
Click New Cell Style.

In the Style name box, type a name for the new style.

Click Format.

Click each tab, select the formatting that you want, and then click OK.
