Do you want to save time with Microsoft Excel? Whether you are a beginning Excel user or an expert, you will likely discover new shortcuts among these essential Microsoft Excel tips to navigate worksheets, edit cells, and format your Excel data.

Display Formulas

To display worksheet formulas for auditing and printing, press [Ctrl] + `(called a grave accent or back quote and found on many keyboards to the left of the #1 key). Use this shortcut again to revert back to worksheet results. This option, Show Formulas, is also found under the Formulas tab.

Microsoft Excel 4.x. Excel, from Microsoft, is a powerful spreadsheet application for Mac, Windows, and OS/2. Excel was first released for the Mac. When it was ported to Windows 2.x, they started at version '2.0' to one up current Mac version. There was never a DOS version. Instead, DOS and 8-bit platforms used the older Microsoft Multiplan. The current version is Excel-DNA 1.1, released on 29 June 2020. This release included various bug-fixes and further improvements to the NuGet package build integration. Excel-DNA 1.1 is expected to be the final version with support for older.NET (4.5) and Excel (.

Created by well-known professor Dr. Albright of Indiana University, the software provides the most efficient and effective way to learn Microsoft Excel. The software lives within Microsoft Excel as a plugin and conveniently harnesses the power of workflow tutorials, video and self-assessments to give you what you need to succeed in.

Fast Moves Between Worksheets in a Workbook

Try these keyboard shortcuts to toggle or cycle between worksheets:

Next worksheet: [Ctrl] + [Page Down]
Previous worksheet: [Ctrl] + [Page Up]

These shortcuts work great in smaller workbooks but how do you quickly move to a specific worksheet especially because Excel supports up to 1,024 worksheets.

For another way to easily navigate to a worksheet in an Excel workbook, try one of my favorite tricks: right-click on any of the triangle navigation buttons (located immediately to the left of the worksheet tabs) to display a pop-up menu of worksheet names. Just choose the worksheet you want. Depending on your version of Excel, the option for More Sheets… displays as needed for a complete list of worksheets in the workbook.

Fast Data Entry

Would you like to stay away from the Ribbon and mouse? Save time with these quick and easy keyboard shortcuts to enter data into an Excel worksheet:

Enter current date: [Ctrl] + ;
Repeat data from the cell immediately above: [Ctrl] + ‘ (single quote) or press [Ctrl] + D(think duplicate)
Create a SUM function for cells next to your current location: [Alt] + =

Wrapping Text

When entering titles or long paragraphs of text, the [Enter] key will move to a new cell. Instead press [Alt] + [Enter] to create a line break or new line in the same cell. With this shortcut, you can decide where the text breaks for column headings, text descriptions, and Excel notes and comments.

Not every long text entry needs this specific control, and so, you can anticipate and automatically format lengthy entries to wrap to multiple lines by applying the Wrap Text alignment feature to entire columns or rows even if some of your cells won’t need it. To format a selection in Excel to wrap text, pick the Wrap Text command from the Alignment group in the Home tab.

Go To Shortcut

Quickly move to a specific cell or range by pressing [F5] or [Ctrl] + G (Go To).

Editing Cells

Excel has lots of choices for editing text, values or a formula in a worksheet cell including:

Typing a new entry in the cell (no need to delete previous contents)
Double-click on a cell to open “in-place” or direct editing
Press [F2] to open the current cell for editing
Click once into the Formula Bar (above column headings)
Press [Delete] to clear contents (cell is empty but retains formatting)

When a cell is opened for editing, click with the mouse or use arrow keys, [Backspace], [Delete], [Home] and [End] to navigate within the cell.

Keyboard Shortcut to Go To the Formula Bar

The previous Excel tip included the option to edit a cell by pressing the [F2] function key which, by default, positions the cursor in the cell instead of the Formula bar. If you really like keyboard shortcuts over the mouse, you can change the [F2] function key so it moves directly to the Formula bar:

Pick the File tab and then select Options from the bottom of the screen.
Select Advanced in the left pane.
Uncheck the Allow editing directly in cell option. OK to apply.

Easy Cell Formatting

Try these quick Excel keyboard shortcuts to change the formatting for your current selection:

Open the Format Cells dialog box: [Ctrl] + 1
Apply the currency format: [Ctrl] + $
Apply the percentage format: [Ctrl] + %

Quickly See a Sum or Average

Do you want to see a quick total or other calculation? Just highlight some numbers in a worksheet. Next, look at the status bar at the bottom of the window. As part of a feature called AutoCalculate, Excel displays the average of the numbers, a count of the cells, and the sum. The average, count, and sum in the status bar get updated each time you click another cell. By the way, when you use this tip, Excel ignores any cells you click that contain text or graphics instead of numbers. Although you can’t automatically create fixed results from these calculations, this is an easy way to audit or review your Excel worksheets. You can also use this trick with non-adjacent cells. Just click on one cell, and then hold down the [Ctrl] key while you click on additional cells you want to add to the other selected values.

Quick Select All

And finally, try these Excel tips to quickly select data in an Excel worksheet. If most or all of your Excel worksheet will have the same format (font style, size, number, etc.), apply global formatting to the cells even before you type text, data, or formulas into the cells. To select all of the cells in the current range or data list, press [Ctrl] + A. Press again to select the entire worksheet (Select All) or by clicking once on the upper-left intersection (the blank rectangle) of Column A and Row 1. Then choose the cell formatting options that you want to see in your worksheet.
