number format does not affect the cell value that Excel uses to perform
calculations. The actual value is displayed in the formula bar.
• Excel provides several built-in number formats. You can use these built-
in formats as is, or you can use them as a basis for creating your own
custom number formats. When you create custom number formats, you
can specify up to four sections of format code. These sections of code
define the formats for positive numbers, negative numbers, zero values,
and text, in that order. The sections of code must be separated by
semicolons (;).
