As to the style of what you will include in your appendix, just do what you believe will make the appendix entries easier to read or easier to use; or however your instructor tells you.

the appendix section of a formal lab report is an important part of presenting your research and findings. It is a place to include additional information that may be relevant to your study, but not essential to the main body of your report.

In terms of numbering, it is generally recommended to use numbers or letters to label the different components of your appendix, such as raw data and sample calculations. This helps to organize and reference the information for both yourself and others who may be reading your report.

However, if your lab report guidelines do not specify a particular format for the appendix section, it is ultimately up to your discretion. Just make sure to clearly label and organize the information in a way that is easy to understand and reference.

Additionally, it may be helpful to consult with your instructor or a peer who is familiar with formal lab reports to get their input on the best way to present your appendix section.

Overall, the most important thing is to ensure that your appendix section adds value to your report and supports your findings. Use your best judgement and refer to any guidelines provided to make sure you are including all necessary information in an organized manner.
