Format code is basically a code that tells the excel how you want the number to appear as a result. For example, the code "0" simply means you want the number to appear with no decimal points (rounded off), comma or any special symbols. The code "0.00" has the same meaning, except you want the values to be of 2 decimal place (if it is just to one decimal place or is not a decimal, 0s will be used to show the value to 2 decimal places). There are codes for time, date or even coloring if you want negative values to be colored in other colors like red. It is advisable to use what Excel provides and modifying them rather than typing your own code since it might not recognize everything.
