I am also very annoyed with double clicking on the cell border taking me to the end of list. I am working with big sheets of data so i have them zoomed out as much as possible. This makest it difficult to hit precisely the inside of cell.
Moreover I need to edit cells in several places accross the sheet with pasting suffix to every value. With one hand on the mouse and the other on Ctl+V it would work perfectly fine if not for the jumping functionality! Every time I am cursing bloody analysts who came up with this feature.

Regarding the trick “Double-click in the corner, just above scroll-bar to include a split”… if you do that, then you will have to drag the split bar to the correct location… you can save a small amount of time by not double clicking that small rectangular bar above the vertical scroll bar directly; rather, simply (single) click/drag it to the desired location. And in case anyone missed it, there is a small rectangular bar to the right of the horizontal scroll bar that works in the identical manner (double click or single click drag) for a vertical split.

My favorite tip was about double clicking on the side of a box to jump to the end of the table. i always accidentally would do that, and it really ticked me off, but now that i know what the purpose is, and its not just randomly messing with my head…. i am happy =) Thanks for the awesome tips, they can save people hours

Does anyone know how to turn *off* any of the double-click features? Specifically, the one in which you double-click on the side of the cell to jump to the last cell in the column. I do this accidentally all the time and it drives me a little nuts.

Manoochehr: I think it is possible to do this, as long as you have x and y data for each pressure band. But I don’t think it would be easy to get excel to intelligently apply the different data points. Were you wanting to do this for weather maps or some other work purpose, or were you just curious whether excel could do this? Do you have any sample data you could post anywhere?

Regards

Jeff

@ Jeff,
In contours we have 3 series of data such as x, y, z. where x,y are for example locations and z could be weather forecasting data. following link will show a picture of what I mean.

Manoochehr – can you elaborate on what you mean by ‘plotting contours’?
