Answer 3

It is not possible to answer this question because there are an infinite number of ways. For example, I could format 3.5 as "3.5", or "$3.50" or even as "Silly Format 3.5". Since there is no restriction on the text preceding (or following) the value, the number of options is infinite.

Answer 4

It is very possible to answer this question. In Excel, there are a specific number of ways to format a number. For example, you can format it as not a number, called "General" which allows for text and numbers, i. e. "Silly Format 3.5." Then there are "Number" formats, where you can define the number of decimal places and whether or not to include a comma as a separator. Another example is Zip Code format.

Here is a list of all of the format categories supported in Excel 2013:

• General
• Number
• Currency
• Accounting
• Date
• Time
• Percentage
• Fraction
• Scientific
• Text
• Special
• Custom

Most of these categories have several formatting options as well.
