Depending on where the format is exposed, it will have a different meaning. For example, a cell's format just applies to itself,
but a row or column's format applies to all cells in that row or column. There are also style formats, which can be the parent of
other formats, meaning they provide defaults for values not set on the format. And finally, there are differential formats, such
as the format for areas in a table, which provide default values for cells which exist in the associated area.
