I have been looking everywhere online on how to create my own formatting rules in excel 2010. I understand that rules start with a equals sign and then parenthesis but, after that what next. For instance how does one know where to put the quotation marks and the semi colin and the ampersand sign. One tutorial explained that if one wanted a text cell rather than a numeric cell, to add a apostrophe to the cell then type the numbers. He stated this would store the number as text and not number. How did he know to add the apostrophe. In other words where to learn how create rules manually instead of the pre-inserted ones excell gives us.
