The Styles group in the Home tab of MS Excel is your one-stop shop for quickly and easily formatting your spreadsheet. It offers a variety of tools to control the appearance of your cells, making it easy to achieve a consistent and polished look.
Here’s a breakdown of the key features:
Conditional Formatting:

Click “Conditional Formatting” in the Styles group.
Choose a rule based on your desired criteria (e.g., greater than, equal to, text contains).
Set the desired formatting (e.g., color, font, borders).
