When I installed Excel 2010, I found Home Styles Cell style
presented me with default cell colors for four types of cells: Normal,
Good, Bad, Neutral.

Today that color display has disappeared, collapsed into the Styles
button. If I expand the button I can see the missing display. How can
I get it back on the ribbon? To the best of my knowledge, I haven't
changed anything.

Right click on the bar at the bottom of the styles tab and select
"customize the ribbon".

In that, you select "main tabs" and then "home" and "styles", and then
select the commands you want added.

If the color boxes are there in that list, they will then appear when
you check them.


Just found your problem.

The new package (2010) AND 2013 AUTO-Sizes the ribbon.

So, IF you maximize the window, it will likely re-appear.
I found this as my 2013 install also has your dialogs missing.

UNTILL I stretched the window across my screen ad they started popping
into their old familiar places.

So stretch your window or maximize it. Removing ribbon elements you do
not use much also leaves those elements you do often use remaining.
