2 Formatting Basics

- Format the data set to your level of satisfaction ~ 
- Adjust the row height in the first row, and wrap the text in the cell C1 because there is so much.
- Include borders, font adjustments, alignments, and merge the name cells together to form a single name heading.
- Sort the data as you see fit, then include Dr. Evil into the data set, who was treated for 5 days.
