Formatting cells

When formatting cells, is there a way of chosing from a wider colour range. The colour options I can see are quite flashy...

RE: Formatting cells

Hello Anne,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel course with BEST Training.
Thank you for your question regarding Formatting cells

I remember saying yesterday that is could not be done, and I found a way to make it happen.

To modify the color palette for a workbook, follow these steps:

Microsoft Office Excel 2003 and earlier versions of Excel
1. Start Excel, and then open the workbook.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Color tab.
3. Click the color that you want to change, and then click Modify.
4. Use one or more of the following procedures:

Excel tip:

Use the SUBTOTAL function in Excel

You can create subtotals in your spreadsheet using the SUBTOTAL function, which looks like this:

=SUBTOTAL(9,cell:cell)

9 represents the function being used (SUM), followed by the range of cells the function is operating on.

The neat thing about using the Subtotal function is that if you have used it several times in the same column or row, clicking on the AutoSum button at the end of the column or row will make Excel add only the results of cells containing the Subtotal function in that column or row.
