If I had had this when I was attempting my MPA I might have passed🤣 The online professor from another university was no help.

Maybe I missed it, but F2 edits a selected (outlined) field.

Alt+Shift+N runs macro.

Is that custom?

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Office 365, apparently. I used to have a custom shortcut but that was disabled in 365. Now the only way I can see of working it is by Alt+Shift+N

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah it's custom. I have 365 and it doesn't do anything for me.

Is there a shortcut for inserting a new row or column? (Did I miss it?)

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Select a row or col and Ctrl+ to insert to the right of selected and ctrl- to delete :)

Oh great, thank you!

Did you know excel can add numbers together? You don't just have to put in a bunch of numbers and get your calculator to add them together.

Saving so I can never look at it again like the exercises and other useful info buried in my favorites list.

Took an Excel class because work paid for it and learned a lot of these. Got a Covid-19 lay off in 2020 shortly afterwards and haven’t touched Excel since. Oh well. Saved and upvoted as is the Way.

Ctrl-Alt-& for that (save & upvote)

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I always favorite and upvote these "because I wanna learn these, I use Excel so often", then I never check back on these :D

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

That’s the mystery of Imgur favorites. They exist, we add to them, and then they’re never seen again.

I still can't make my brain understand vlookups no matter how many times I've used them.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Vlookup < xlookup

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Good news! Now you can xlookup or Index Match. Godspeed.

2 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Bold of you to assume I know how to do either of those too!

My favorite Excel shortcut: Alt-F4

2 years ago | Likes 40 Dislikes 1

Noooooooo!

2 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

man, remembering the early days of MMOs and chatrooms someone says alt+F4 either opens a cheat menu or some cool text editing and seeing how many people suddenly log off

I definitely just had RuneScape flashbacks.

Ctrl+Shift+Salty

And Ctrl+shift+v (paste as text)

2 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

You can still do Ctrl+Alt+V, V, Enter or Alt, E, S, V, Enter. It's not quite as fast obviously, but not horrible.

2 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

Thanks for other options. I always do Alt, H, V, V. Which is similar to your first one. Did not know about that ctrl,alt,v to get there.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

You can hit, in order, "Alt, F, A". It takes the same amount of time, and it still works.

I may be a drama llama, but my computer isn't. It doesn't eat alt-fa-fa. (Thank you, I'm here all week whether y'all like it or not!)

F4 also duplicates the last action you did, I.e delete a cell. Useful so you don’t have to constantly pick “shift cells up” etc.

Also handy for highlighting.

I need this for Google Sheets.

What's the shortcut to tell Excel the data in a cell is NOT A FUCKING DATE?

2 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

"I have a boyfriend"

2 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 0

It says it in the image. Control+Shift+1. Well, that is with two decimals. Control+shift+~ should change that to "common", so you should get away with the decimals, but that doesn't seem to work for me. Of course, this was the first thing I looked at from the image.

Dear Excel: I do not want Scientific Notation. Ever. NEVER EVER EVER. Please stop.

Dear Excel, I almost exclusively want scientific notation. Always.

Thanks. Just started Excel couple months ago. This will come in handy.

I just want two lines in a cell!

Alt place curser at last letter first

Alt-Enter to act as real Enter, it also changes the formatting to turn on Line Wrapping (I sometimes do an Alt-Enter on a LONG entry that I want to wrap, not have extra lines on, then backspace that Enter)

Where can I download this in Excel format?

2 years ago | Likes 17 Dislikes 0

Just make your own, lazybones. Or google it. Might not be on the first results page tho.

2 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That would not be ironic.

Convert images to PDF, then in Excel, Select the tab Data > Get data > From file > From PDF, then you can import the text and formatting directly into Excel without having to retype anything.
