Format Cells in Excel (macOS)
Press Command + 1 to open the Format Cells dialog.
What it does
The dialog holds every format setting of a cell on its tabs: number format, alignment, font, border, fill and protection. It is the place for formats the ribbon does not show, such as a custom date or number format. The settings apply to all selected cells at once. They change how a value looks and leave the value itself as it is.
