Default Is there a preferred protocol for alignment of numbers in a colum

I am receiving and re-creating numerous reports for my company. Is there a
preference or protocol for alignment of numerical date? Should it be right
aligned? Center aligned?

If the numbers refer to counts of items or currency, then most people prefer
right-justified.

I believe that the, "normal" convention is right aligned.

Please hit Yes if my comments have helped.

Thanks.

Michelle,

Generally Excel will do it for you. Enter a number and it will 'Right'
justify and text will 'left' justify.
