You can do all the formatting you wish, without losing data. You just need to be careful when combining columns and similar operations that can cause data loss. Generally, if that is going to happen, Excel will warn you in advance and you always have the undo button.

I am using an Excel sheet at work with multiple pages, to log data. It was set up for me by someone else and all I need to do is enter the info.
Along the way, I have learned some of the basics about formatting, but my tech knowledge is quite limited.
Is it possible to make changes in the formatitng, such as with the rows and columns - width, height, number of - but to preserve that data which has been already entered as it is?
When I started with this log, certain information was being entered. Midstream additional information was requested to be added from that point forward. which meant a change in format.
The only way I knew how to accomplish this was to save one worksheet and begin anew with the revised format. Is there a way to combine them?
