You can do it in a few ways. First of all you always need to select the cells you are formatting. Press Ctrl - 1 to open the Format Cells dialog box. From there you can pick a wide variety of formatting to apply. You can also use conditional formatting to format cells based on conditions. Formatting can also be pasted from cells that have already formatted using the Format Painter.
