Decimal Align: Aligns numbers based on their decimal points, creating neat columns of numbers.
Vertical Alignment:
Top Align: Positions text at the top of the cell.
Middle Align: Centers text vertically within the cell.

Additional Options:
Wrap Text: Allows text to flow onto multiple lines within a single cell.
