I have always seen this little triangle in the corner of every Excel sheet.What is it?

What is it for? Does it have to do with alignment? I have searched Google and have no luck.

    It simply indicates that square belongs to both column and row I suspect. Clicking on it on it may or may not select all the boxes.

    As far as I can tell, its just a "Select All Cells" button.

That button selects all the cells of the spreadsheet. :)

It highlights all cells of your sheet. It can be used if you want to set every cell to a certain font style or something like that.
