An Excel worksheet is a single spreadsheet containing cells organized in rows and columns. Worksheets can be used for accounting, classroom exercises, and other tasks. The document discusses how to format worksheets by applying borders, changing text colors and alignment, adding cell shading, and using conditional formatting. Conditional formatting allows rules to highlight important information, such as formatting cells red and bold if they contain future dates or formatting cells green and bold if they contain a "Y".
