This can be accomplished in Microsoft Excel using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). The following steps will guide you through how to create a macro that automatically formats a range of cells: 

   1. Open the Microsoft Excel workbook that contains the range of cells you want to format.

   2. Press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor. 

   3. From the Insert menu, select Module. This will create a code module within your workbook. 

   4. Enter the following code into the module: 

   Sub FormatRange()

    Dim rng As Range

    Set rng = Range("A1:A10")

    rng.Font.Bold = True

    rng.Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous

   End Sub

   5. This code will format cells from A1 to A10, making their font bold and adding a continuous border. If you need to alter the range of cells being formatted, simply change the “A1:A10” in the code to whatever cells you need. 

   6. Once you are satisfied with the code, click Run > Run Sub/UserForm from the top bar to execute the macro. 

   7. The range of cells you specified will now be formatted as instructed by the code.

 // Loop through the rows in the sheet

  // Get the data for this row

  var data = dataColumns.map(function(column) {

   return dataRange.getCell(i, column).getValue();

  });

  // Make a copy of the document template and open it

  var docTemplate = DriveApp.getFileById(docTemplateId).makeCopy();

  var doc = DocumentApp.openById(docTemplate.getId());

  // Replace the placeholder variables in the document with the data from the sheet

  var body = doc.getBody();

  body.replaceText('{{data1}}', data[0]);

  body.replaceText('{{data2}}', data[1]);

  body.replaceText('{{data3}}', data[2]);

  body.replaceText('{{data4}}', data[3]);

  // Save the document as a PDF in the specified folder

  var pdf = doc.getAs('application/pdf');

  doc.saveAndClose();

  var pdfVersion = DriveApp.createFile(pdf);

  docTemplate.setTrashed(true);

  folder.createFile(pdf);

   To use this script, you will need to do the following:

   1. Create a Google Sheet with the data that you want to include in the generated document.

   2. Open the Google Sheet and go to the Tools menu, then select Script editor.

   3. Copy and paste the script above into the script editor.

   4. Replace the <FOLDER_ID> placeholder with the ID of the folder in Google Drive that you want to save the document to.

   5. Save the script and close the script editor.

   6. Back in the Google Sheet, go to the Tools menu again and select Script editor.

   7. In the script editor, select the generateDoc function from the dropdown list and click the play button to run the script.

   This will generate a Google Docs document with the data from the Google Sheet and save it to the specified folder in Google Drive. You can also add a button or menu item to the Google Sheet to make it easy to trigger the script. For more information, see the Google Apps Script documentation on how to add user interface elements to your scripts.
