Formatting Numbers with the General Format in Excel 2010

Notice in the example below that cells cells B2 through F2 are formatted as dates. You can verify the formatting of a cell by clicking the cell and looking at the Number Format box in the Number group on the Home tab in Excel. In the example, find the word Date in the Number Format box.

To change the format of the numbers (yes, dates are numbers to Excel), select cells B2 through F2; click the down arrow in the Number Format box and choose the desired format. To choose a number without any special formatting (no dollar sign or decimal places, for example), choose General as shown in the example below.

After formatting the numbers with the General format, your numbers will look like this:

Notice that the newly formatted numbers in cells B2 through F2 are right-aligned in each cell. Right alignment is the default format for numbers. Numbers formatted with the General format have no decimal places, commas, or dollar sign.

Essential Oils, Wellnes

My Wellness Journey

I’ve had so much fun teaching the past 30 plus years, I’ve decided to expand my horizons and teach something new. I enjoy doing research and learning new things, so learning about the wellness benefits of essential oils has been fun.

What are the wellness benefits of oils? There are many, depending on the person and need. I find that diffusing Cedarwood, Lavender, Vetiver, and Valor oils in the evening helps me (and hubby) sleep. Sometimes I’ll change it up and diffuser Harmony, Peace and Calming, or Stress Away. Here’s a peak at my sleepy blend…

A few other favorite products of mine are AgilEase for joint support; Super Calc Plus as a bone health supplement; Immupro for sleep and immune support; and Thieves Cough Drops for a cough, sore throat, or stuffy nose. These are the BEST! I take the AgilEase and Super Calc Plus daily and the Immupro and Thieves Cough Drops as needed.

There’s so much more I can share about what I have learned and what I love. Head over to my OilyThingsEssential website for my free online essential oils class full of fun info and no exams! You’ll find my Blog there. More good stuff to come!
