3 excel keyboard shortcuts that can save a lot of time for you

The one to move between worksheets
Ctrl-Pgdn or Ctrl-PgUp

Select all in a row till the last entry
ctrl-shift- down arrow key

I had many, but ‘use them or lose them’ got the better of me

The ones I use a lot today are:

– F2 (perhaps the most used after Ctrl-C/X/V)
– Ctrl+ Arrow (to reach the first break/last entry in a series)
– Ctrl+ D (to replicate contents of a cell or any drawn object)

1) Ctrl+ [ – this is awesome takes you to cells on which your reference cell is dependent. use ctrl+5 to get back
2) Alt + o, followed by c,w (or alt+o, followed by r,h), column width (row height)
3) Ctrl + spacebar (shift + spacebar) select column (row)

hehe, i love shortcuts

and most important : alt+e, followed by s, t. copy format. hehehe

F5 then Special
this opens a dialog box that allows you to select specific cells, such as just all the formulas, or errors.
Great when used in confunction with other functions.

Ctrl+1 actually opens the format dialog for whatever object is selected (not just Format Cells).

F4 when you have a cell location selected in a formula
It toggles the absolute cell reference value ($)

e.g. A1 becomes $A$1 then $A1 then A$1 etc.
great for large formulas

it works

Select an Entire Range of Cells in Excel
From Kees Podt, Voorburg, Netherlands

In Excel, if you want to quickly select the entire range of cells you’re working on, press CTRL+SHIFT+ ASTERISK (*).

For example, if you have a list of customers in Excel, this command will select the entire list and the column headings, but not the empty cells around the list—so you get only the cells you need.

This tip is different from the Select All command, which selects every cell in the worksheet—even the ones that you are not using.
