What buttons you have in the excel quick access bar ? [weekend poll]

my buttons in QAT are
» Paste values
» Paste formatting
» all borders

I had a very hard time getting used to the new system in Excel 2007 so I created the Excel 2003 ribbons as seen here:

http://www.rassgat.org/myndir/ribbon2007.jpg

To that I just added conditional formatting and remove duplicates.

Thanks for a great site.

Mine are:
-Camera
-Pivottable wizard

Oh yes, I just added Freeze panes

My QAT holds: Print Preview, E-mail, Quick print, New, Open, Select Visible Cells (my favorite), Camera, Autofilter and Bottom 10% (don’t think I’ve ever used that one).
I like Finnur’s solution, He is obviously as brilliant in Excel as he is in playing Squash.,.

My QAT is loaded with frequently used macros (mainyl for formatting and text-converting exports)p plus:
Camera
Select Visible Cells
Print Preview
GridLines
Zeros

Add-ins, Open, Save As, Print Preview, Redo, Reset Page Breaks, Show Page Breaks, Normal View, Arrange All, Switch Windows, New Window, Name Manager, Evaluate Formula, Freeze Panes, Manage Rules, Data Validation, Align, Select All, Crop, Move Forward, Move Backward, Calculate Now, Refresh All, Change Shape

Last section contain macros for: Toggle R1C1, AddDynamicNamedRanges, Toggle EditInCell

I have posted mine on my website. Take a look. http://www.thestanding.com/1066-excel-2007-quick-access-bar/

I have added: Print, Paste Values, Freeze Panes, View Macros, and Visual Basic.

I’ve added:
-Print
-Quick Print
-Print Preview
-Open
-Recent Files List (from an addin I built)
-Open From Specific Folder (from an addin I built)

Chandoo!

You can use CTRL+5 to strikethrough the cell.

By the way

1 Paste Values
2 Paste Formulas
3 Paste Format
4 Left Align
5 Center Align
6 Right Align
7 Copy Format (similar to paste format but works in a different way)
8 Preview
9
09 Fill Color
08 Evaluate Formulas
07 View Formulas
06 Precedent
05 Dependent
04 Clear
03 Inspection Window
02 Camera
01 Freeze Panels

… and continues!

Only the print preview for now …
I’m sure it’ll keep on growing after I have fully migrated

I use Excel 2003 and have the foll buttons on my custom toolbar.

Freeze Panes, Auto Filter, Strike through, Page Break View, Normal View, 3 for Vertical allignment – top center bottom, Merge Across, Merge Cells, Unmerge Cells, Dark Shading, Light Shading, Clear All, Show/Hide Outline Symbols, Toggle Grid, Pattern

And some for my macros – Find Duplicates, Remove duplicates, Formatting and few work related

And I like the feature of having all this customization in one file .xlb file
Do we have similar thing in 2007?

Finnur – Nice Idea for those who hate ribbons

The icons i have are:
- New file
- Print Preview
- Freeze Panes
- Auto Filter

Hey Finnur how did you do that? I woul like to create the Excel 2003 ribbons as you did!

New workbook, Open, Save, Save As, Undo, QuickPrint, Set print area, page orientation, preview, email, freeze panes, left align, center, merge & center, Page #, # of Pages, pivot table, subtotals, sum, accounting number format, decrease decimal, fill series, wrap text, bottom align, top align, sort, filter, paste values, clear filter, and paste special!!

Before I received your email I only had the basic buttons that are standard to Excel. Now that I know I can add and change them, I’ll be sure to put some regularly used ones there. Thanks for the tip.

Where are mi comments?

Buttons I’ve added and actually use… New Database Query, Evaluate Formula, Trace Precedents, Pivot Table and PivotChart Report, Show Field List, Group, Ungroup, Camera, Source Data (for charts). Plus, a few that call my own macros… Format Accounting, Auto-Size Columns and Bold Header, Remove That Irritating Adobe Toolbar, 1-Click Pivot Table, Refresh Everything, Load Palette Chooser.

Very similiar to yours however I add the quick column/row insert and delete buttons and the data validation button which allows you to prevent invalid data inputs into a cell(s).

In my excel, I have
- Paste values
- Print Preview
- Freeze Panes
- Auto Filter
- Pivot Table
- Group
I see many of you add the camera in QAT, how to use camera in Excel 2007? Is lt a good function in excel 2007?

I just have a button that has a macro turnson ‘Speak on Enter’, and then tell me that Excel loves me. I use this one a lot.

No, because whenever I trigger it I’ve got headphones on. She thinks I’m just listening to a Mr Excel podcast.

@Carlos: It was made manually. Took me 1-2 hours. Totally worth it.

@Jakob: Thank you, I guess. I hope I’m better at Excel than playing squash. I haven’t played for at least 2 years.

@Finnur: Great idea…I don’t know why I havent done this with the commands I use daily, so I can do away with the ribbon altogether.

@Chandoo: You should do a follow up post:”Wanna do away with the space-hogging ribbon? Here’s how”

I’m using a similar approach as Finnur:

I’ve left out the buttons I don’t use frequently though and added a lot of others which used to be on my custom toolbars in 2003. The Ribbon now rarely gets ‘maximized’ so that saves a lot of screen space.

So overall I don’t mind the Ribbon as much as others, I do wish you would be able to have multiple QATs though or a QAT with two lines of buttons. I could use a bit more space

Finnur,

Thanks my man! I just made the switch to 2007 because work is now using it. I really HATE the Ribbon and now I am going to setup all those lovely buttons that I am used to in 2003.
