The normal cell style is your base level of styling for every single cell. If you just write the number 1 into a cell, this is how it would be styled or formatted. If you then applied a different cell style, say you wanted to make a cell a percentage, then that would be overlaid on top of the normal cell style. So let's go through the attributes of the normal cell style. First of all, we have the number and this is certainly the trickiest part. What we've got at the beginning here is you've got hash, comma, hash, hash, 0.0, underscore, bracket, so let's go through what that means. Well, first of all, the comma means that there will be a thousandths separator. So if I wrote in the number 1,234, it would be a 1, comma, 2, 3, 4. We've then got 0.0, so that indicates that a zero will be shown as a zero and it indicates that there will be one decimal place. The tricky bit is the underscore, closed bracket. This means, underscore, leave a space of, so the underscore means leave a space the size of a closed bracket. So that will become a bit more obvious once we get into the next section. But that first section that we've just described there is how a positive number will be shown, with a thousandths separator with one decimal place. The next section, after the semicolon, is how a negative figure will be shown. So we can first of all see that it will have an open bracket and a closed bracket around it. It will also have a thousandths separator and it'll also have one decimal place. So to go back to the positive number, why did we say leave a space the size of a closed bracket? Because what we want are our positive numbers and negative numbers to be lined up with the decimal points all in the same place. A positive number will have a space the size of a closed bracket and a negative number will have an actual closed bracket to the right hand side of it. Our third section, so after the negative number and after the semicolon, is 0.0, so that's how a zero will be shown. You could instead have used maybe a dash. It will also have one decimal place. And again, we'll leave a space the size of a closed bracket. The last section with the at sign and then an underscore closed bracket means if we have text, again, we should leave, to the right hand side, the space the size of a closed bracket.

After that, borders, we'll have no borders on a normal cell style, fill, no shading, and then protection, we say it's locked, it's not actually locked yet but if we were to enable locking, these cells would be locked.
