    Is it best practice in the finance/consulting industry to do this? Or is this step for learning purposes only?

    Windows 10 - Data Value for Default Background Colour of White
    What is the data value to input if I want to change by background colour to that of white, before I changed it to grey? After changing it to grey, I can't seem to revert back to the default - the grey colour spreads to my other themes as well! :/

    Mac excel Background
    How do you change the color of Excel's background on Mac? I've gone through the system preferences and Excel preference menus, but there is no option to turn the cells appearance gray without actually altering the printing style. Essentially what I am doing is highlighting everything a gray color.
