By default, numeric values in a worksheet are right-aligned. This means that the numbers are positioned towards the right-hand side of their cells, leaving empty space on the left-hand side. This formatting helps make the numbers easier to read and compare, especially when working with columns of data that contain large or small numbers. Other types of data, such as text, are usually left-aligned by default. However, the alignment of data can be easily changed using the formatting options available in the software program used to create and edit the worksheet.
