Alt+D+F+S for clearing the filter from all the rows without actually removing the filter. Ctrl+shift+L will remove the entire filter, while Alt+D+F+S just clears it Alt+O+C+A for auto width column Alt+H+N+S for converting number to Short Date Alt+H+K for converting the number into accounting format. Been using these options frequently. Thank you Leila for the valuable inputs.
Thank you for number 16. Here's a few of my own (haven't checked to see if they are mentioned already). ctrl + Home - takes you to the top left of a data set ctrl + end - takes you to the bottom right of a data set ctrl + Page Up - switches tabs to the left ctrl + Page Down - switches tabs to the right
Thanks for the video. I would like to add 3 more to the list Ctrl + D/R - Copy the value/formula to adjacent cells down/right Ctrl page up/down - for navigating through sheets F2 - will let you edit the formula from the cell itself

Alt W F F" for freezing columns and rows which is very useful for me Ctrl + alt + v is another shortcut for paste special Alt+ H + O+ I. Auto fits cells/rows/columns to their contents Clear Filter (NOT Remove) = ALT + A + C Unhide Row: CTRL + SHIFT + 9 Unhide Column: ALT + O + C + U Ctrl + k to create a hyperlink Alt Pg dn - move column wise right Alt Pg up - move column wise left Ctrl + u to expand the formula bar ctrl+pageup change sheets ctrl+pagedown shift+f2 comments alt+f11 vba Alt+E+S+V Always Extract Some Values F12 to bring up save as F2 - edit formula directly in the cell lt E L to delete sheet & Alt E M to move/copy sheet. Ctrl + D/R - Copy the value/formula to adjacent cells down/right CTRL + ~ to expose formulas CTRL + ~ to change it back. Alt+w+h hide work book short cut for inserting rows & columns. Alt + I +R for rows Alt + I +C for columns first select the no. of rows (e.g. 2) then use shortcut to insert the selected no. of new rows. Same is for coloumns. Possibly faster way to insert a column or row is : Select a cell, press Alt+IC to insert a column to the left, or press Alt + IR to insert a row above. Easy to remember because IC is short for Insert Column, IR is short for Insert Row. Shift+Del then enter an alternate to cut n paste
My two favorite shortcuts I've learned in the past few years are: cntrl [ in a cell with a formula linked to another cell (could be a cell on a different tab or file) and it will take you directly to it. Then to get back the shortcut is F5 Enter. These are my favorite shortcuts and I never see these on shortcut lists. Great video overall as usual!

Very informative indeed!!.. Probably the most needy part of Excel has been covered here to be a master of key strokes. Sharing 2 shortcuts i use alternately to insert row & columns. Add Row - Alt + I + R Add Column - Alt + I + C Keep shining..👏👏
Hi Leila, Thanks a ton for your useful videos! The most common Excel short cut key I use is Ctrl+D. If I am in a particular cell it just copies the value of the corresponding column cell in the row above it. It applies to formulae too. I use this along with Ctrl+Space to copy formulae for all cells of the row above current row..
I've just found you today, while I was seeking for some help for my Excel for work and I am obsessed with your videos. You are so incredible! Thank you so much for everything you show us!
Alt+i+c for adding column, Alt+i+r for adding row, Alt+i+w for adding new sheet, Ctrl+k for hyperlink, Alt+d+l for data validation, Alt+n+v for pivot table, Alt+i+o for inserting any object, Alt+h+o+r for renaming sheet, Alt+o+a for auto formatting, etc.
I have been called the Queen of Excel or the Excel God so many times when I have a colleague see me use Excel. I consider myself a pro. I've been teaching my spouse Excel for the last few days, and pulled up these videos to help him learn more. I learned a new shortcut from the video, and a few from the comments, too!! Thanks so much!! You're amazing!!
Ctrl+Shift+End highlights to the last data element in a sheet. I like this one because it does not stop at cells that are blank but have data below and to the right that are not captured by Ctrl+Shift+down arrow and Ctrl+Shift+right arrow.
Hi Leila.. great summary of useful keyboard shortcuts. You might want to add.. to unhide hidden rows CTRL+SHIFT+9 and unhide hidden columns CTRL+SHIFT+0. Also, if you want to group instead of hide, use SHIFT+ALT+RIGHT ARROW (to group) and LEFT ARROW (to ungroup). Another good keyboard is ALT+Q to jump to the Tell Me or Search field to quickly query EXCEL for help. I use these every day. Thanks for sharing and thumbs up!
Thanks.. a couple more I use: ALT+PAGE DOWN OR PAGE UP to move a full screen right or left; ALT+; to copy just the visible cells from a highlighted range that includes hidden or filtered rows or columns.. can also be used as a quick way to see if rows or columns are hidden via the thick double line that shows on the screen when selected; CLTL+C to copy and CTRL+ALT+V to bring up the Paste Special dialog.. then V, ENTER (or any other accelerator key for different paste special options) and ESC to complete the paste and deactivate the dancing ants. The list goes on.. CTRL+D and CTRL+R to copy contents directly above or directly to the left of the current cell; F5 or CTRL+G for the Go To dialog, etc... I love keyboard shortcuts and succession key sequences.. so much faster and more efficient than using the mouse, once learned and trained into the brain. Looking forward to your follow up. Thumbs up!

Hi Leila, I have some new Excel Shortcuts for you! Shortcut Description [Ctrl] [Enter] Stay in the same cell after typing [Alt] [Shift] & From the input cell - selects all the formula cells that contain the output cell [Alt] [Shift] / From the formula cell - selects all the cells that are included in the formula [Alt] [Shift] $ From the formula cell - selects all the formulas cells that are included in the formula These are some Shortcuts that I find very useful in editing and checking my formulas!

I am happy to be the part of this group.I am just a beginner but after watching your tutorials and reading comments it saved and helped me at work.keep up the Excellent work.
Awesome lecture as always! I prefer Alt, H, V, V instead of Alt, E, S, V (you gotta press enter or click ok after that cause it's a button choice). I guess it's stuck in my brain from months of usage, even though ES is shorter than HVS when you need a special not on the main menu, but I can't get myself to use it. So I use HVV for paste values (you can do HVSV enter or ESV enter), HVW column widths (you can do HVSW enter or ESW enter), HVF formulas (you can do HVSF enter or ESF enter), HVR formats (you can do HVST enter or EST enter). To be completely honest I am trying to incorporate HVF and HVR instead of HVSF enter and HVST enter but like I said it's not leaving my head. Hope I've helped somebody. Also absolutely love Shift+Ctrl+L for filters, Ctrl+E flash fill magic and Shift+Space/Control+Space for the selection (didn't know those last 3, ty!). For insert row I use Alt, I, R, or Alt, I, C for columns. But yours is just fine, in fact it's better since there's no equivalent for deleting them in my solution. Gonna have to learn those! Also I love F4 in all of its uses. The bonus just blew my mind...
Great video Leila! 2 usefull ones :) Select only visible cells from a selection: Alt + ; (semicolon) Drop down list without duplicates without validation nor asigning name : Alt + down arrow (cells on the same column, works with tables o raw data range) PD: Paste Special box short shortcut: Alt Gr + V
Ctrl+page up and Ctrl+page down to toggle between work sheets. Alt+⬇️ on first cell of a filtered column to see the drop down list. To auto adjust cell’s width in a table “Ctrl+A then Alt+O+C+A”. To insert boundaries to the cell, Ctrl+A then Alt+ H+B+A... And many more..
As a totally blind person using screen reading software, I have learned several hot key commands. That is how I learned to use the software. Thank you for this video and for adding a few I didn't know. You're doing a great job.
Highlight a dataset and press Ctrl + . This is go through all the four corner values of the data set turn by turn. This is especially important to check if the formula and references are correctly captured.
I like to add more - Insert New Sheet - Shift + f11 Delete Sheet - Alt + H + D + S Open Name manager Dialogue Box - Ctrl + f3 Remove formatting - Select All Cell - Press - Alt + H + E + A One bonus which is very Important and frequently used option - Open Data Validation - Alt + D + L I hope this gonna work for All
I too like this shortcut Because excel automatically shows up this shortcut by pressing alt key. Alt+H->home Alt+H+V->paste Alt+H+V+V-> paste as values
Shift+cmd+v - when you want to past only formatting, without affecting values in the destination cell. for special pasting - I use always contol+cmd+v and then select what i need to paste
Useful tips, thanks a lot Leila, need to add a tip (if not mentioned somewhere before) : to drag cell(s) from one sheet to another one : highlight the cell(s) press "ALT" key then drag from the cell(s) edge to any other sheet in the same workbook.
Some great shortcuts, and I didn't know the one for highlighting the numerical constants at the end. I shall practice that one! One of my favourites is an alternative to yours for Copy and Paste Values. The Ctrl key on its own opens Smart Tags, so what I do is this: Select, then copy with Ctrl C Paste as normal with Ctrl V, but then tap and release Ctrl, then V. This opens the Smart Tag and selects the Values option. Other letters select other options in the Smart Tag box, e.g. Ctrl then A gives you Values and number formatting.
This is a very informative video, I highly recommend it. Most of the short cut keys work . But some shortcut keys of my excel are different. For example, in my excel, the shortcut key of the autosum is "Command+Shift+T". You may need to check your shortcut key or customize one in your excel under "Tools"→"Customize Keyboard".
Thanks for the great comments. I use "Alt ;" all the time to copy visible cells only (instead of using the "select special" menu). You highlight the area you want to copy first, then type "Alt ;", and then Ctrl-C to copy... now you can go paste this anywhere with Ctrl-V (or right-click paste), and you'll only be pasting the visible cell you copied.
Hi Leila! Paste as values. Select a cell, put cursor to the boundary of the cell, right click and drag to destination cell, leave right button, select paste values. Following you in Skillshare!
Alt EST for paste formats Alt ESF for paste formulas Ctrl + D (Duplicate) on single cell copies whatever is above the cell whether constant or formula but on a highlighted column, copies the first highlighted cell to the rest of the highlighted cells.
Thank you so much. Leila. Excellent presentation skills and delivered at a good pace. I train professionals for a living and it was great to see content set out, both logically and without any unnecessary waffle. A life saver !as I needed to check-in with my 'sleepy' Excel skills . Will be following your other videos.
Alt+M,D to quickly trace dependents (nice in combination with Ctrl+[ and F5 mentioned below). Ctrl+tilde to toggle formula view on or off. Shift+F10 for a context-sensitive right-click, opening up lots of possibilities with context menus.
Super!!! Good tutorial to watch even after so many years of experience in excel. Thank You. Cntrl + D or Cntrl + R are also useful shortcuts for quick copy downwards or to the right.
@Leila Gharani You've taught me the fundamentals of MS Office much better than anyone else. I'm constantly working with all these platforms, but hardly knew the tricks to use it efficiently. Thanks a million 🙏🙏🙏
Some of my other favorites are Ctrl ~ = switches to a view to show formulas in text. Can toggle off and on Alt E S T, or Alt E S F (or for transpose, multiply, etc) Not specific to excel but the windows key + arrow keys is amazing with multiple or large monitors to move your windows around and split screen Shift F9 same as F9 but only on the current tab. Big help in large data files
Alt + = F5, Alt s. Is new to me... Your videos are really awesome and advanced, I get always something new every time I watche a video of yours even about known topic.
Ctrl-D to fill down, F2 to edit active cell, and F12 to save as... are among my most used shortcuts not mentioned in this video. Personally I find the old versions far superior for the ease of discovering keyboard shortcuts. The loathsome ribbon interface in 2007 onward hides the handy Alt key menus (unless you had already memorized them from running older versions, which is why the dropdown menus were already better in the first place.) Excel 5.0 inside of Office 4.3 also allows you to revert the menus to the Excel 4.0 format and back, which makes some repetitive keyboard shortcuts even faster.
Agreed on the ribbon mess. Microsoft started downhill when they decided users needed to see enormous images and banners and grey bars that take up a third of the screen. Removing and minimizing them is a temporary fix. Now, Teams is a nightmare of trash that forces the shared images to be less than half the screen.
@@TrilobitesRTasty And it gets even worse for those of us with vision problems who need lower screen resolutions. The ribbon mess just takes up way too much of the screen at low resolutions.
@@DavidWonn YES! I'm an old guy...and the so-called "Accessibility Settings" that Microsoft creates are unusable. So it is with monopoly power. They have dominance over the desktop, so no longer have to provide good products.
Both of my retinae detached, so I prefer the zooming capabilities on my tablet over the accessibility features on newer PCs. One of the reasons is that over time, Microsoft gradually removed support for lower resolutions. This makes me gravitate to my ancient IBM PS/2, which allows me to run it in a sub-VGA resolution at 640*400 on Windows NT 3.51.
@@DavidWonn Ouch. I have a history of retinal detachment in my family. For now, I just keep buying bigger monitors. At least the price of those is dropping (mostly).
I really enjoy your videos.....Excel is something with infinite possibilities.... My fav and an addition to the 1st tip (Ctlr + Shift + L) is related to a table with filters: Use "Alt + down arrow" at the filter location. This enables / opens up the drop down menu where one can select whichever they want. Hope this helps. :)
Working on sheets Shift + F11 = add sheet Alt + O H R = rename sheet Alt + E L = delete sheet Alt + E M = move or copy sheet Alt + O H H = hide sheet Alt + O H U = unhide sheet These made my work easier. 😁😁😁
In keyboard F4 is use for repeat action, means if you use any shortcut and then press F4 excel will repeat the same for ex- Alt + I + W will add worksheet if you press F4 50 times 50 sheets will be added.
U can see some poops in some public place right These kind of people like that they cnnt appreciate something good And they cnnt do also something good
Great tips, thanks. An additional, the recently added right-click menu shortcut on keyboards is very useful in Excel. Alt+E+S+V is like right-click (keyboard) then V.
cntrl+s, cntrl+v, cntrl+c,cntrl+x, alt+=, alt+shift+➡, F2 to quickly rename files in folders, F2 to enter cell followed by F7 to spell check, cntrl+A, and others. however,, there are some new ones here I will be using for sure., thanks Leila.
I’ve learnt more new ones from the comments section than the video itself! My additions would be: Alt + down arrow on a filter cell and alt+ space bar to select and unselect filtered texts
Slightly faster if using macros, if you need to do this often: Put the below into your personal file, then assign the macro a shortcut of control-shift-V, or whatever shortcut you like. Sub PasteSpecialValues() 'shortcut ctrl-shift-V (paste values) Application.DisplayAlerts = False: On Error Resume Next: Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues: Application.DisplayAlerts = True: End Sub
Assign "Paste Value" to Quick Access Toolbar and then you only have to press Alt + 4 (or 5 or 6 or... depending on personalization). Only 2 buttons - it's the fastest...
Shift+F10+V is a shorter way to Paste Values. Shift+F10 brings up the right click menu. You can then also use this to paste formatting (+R) or formulas (+F)
Not only blanks, if we have different any nunber in Bold will also be a block for auto sum. In case you have subtotals - auto sum helps us in totaling only sub totals :)
@@satyavijay4913 Good points. Somewhat related though not a shortcut... Leila has a great video on =AGGREGATE() function and =SUBTOTAL(). I've been using the latter for years but just learned about the former, much more powerful function recently.
Flash fill ctrl + E, Date and Time CTRL +; (Semi column) for Date and CTRL + SHIFT + : for Time at last my favorite is to find constant f5 then alt + SOX, These short cut never knew infact i didnt know whether excel have such functions.
Following is one short key that I use to select the required columns at one instance to past in different sheet, for example random 5 from 30 columns/rows Select column then Shift -(minus) Then select another column then again Shift - U can use it n number of times as u wanted.
Wow ma habibi! One time, a girl told me "You're so Smart" because I made a program in VBA with Excel, When I saw your video, Im like... I cant believe I never knew all this... You have given me more knowledge! Blessings Leila👩💻...
Grab the file with all shortcuts from here 👉 pages.xelplus.com/excel-shortcuts-file
summited but not get mail dear Leila
I used Ctrl+; to add date and Ctrl+ shift+; to add time
But when I use flash fill Ctrl+E in some rows it shows wrong date, how to solve this ?
Alt+D+F+S for clearing the filter from all the rows without actually removing the filter. Ctrl+shift+L will remove the entire filter, while Alt+D+F+S just clears it
Alt+O+C+A for auto width column
Alt+H+N+S for converting number to Short Date
Alt+H+K for converting the number into accounting format.
Been using these options frequently. Thank you Leila for the valuable inputs.
awesome.......

Love Alt IC and IR. You're right - very easy to remember!
thanks
It's Really Awesome & Fantastic
Incredible nice one
I am happy to be the part of this group.I am just a beginner but after watching your tutorials and reading comments it saved and helped me at work.keep up the Excellent work.
Welcome aboard!
Awesome lecture as always! I prefer Alt, H, V, V instead of Alt, E, S, V (you gotta press enter or click ok after that cause it's a button choice).
I guess it's stuck in my brain from months of usage, even though ES is shorter than HVS when you need a special not on the main menu, but I can't get myself to use it.
So I use HVV for paste values (you can do HVSV enter or ESV enter),
HVW column widths (you can do HVSW enter or ESW enter),
HVF formulas (you can do HVSF enter or ESF enter),
HVR formats (you can do HVST enter or EST enter).
To be completely honest I am trying to incorporate HVF and HVR instead of HVSF enter and HVST enter but like I said it's not leaving my head.
Hope I've helped somebody.
Also absolutely love Shift+Ctrl+L for filters, Ctrl+E flash fill magic and Shift+Space/Control+Space for the selection (didn't know those last 3, ty!).
For insert row I use Alt, I, R, or Alt, I, C for columns. But yours is just fine, in fact it's better since there's no equivalent for deleting them in my solution. Gonna have to learn those!
Also I love F4 in all of its uses.
The bonus just blew my mind...
Another one for Alt, E, S, V is Ctrl (to bring up the quick paste menu), v (to select paste as values) for pasting values
menukey + v is also nice for pasting values, only if your right hand is free
Great video Leila!
2 usefull ones :)
Select only visible cells from a selection: Alt + ; (semicolon)
Drop down list without duplicates without validation nor asigning name : Alt + down arrow (cells on the same column, works with tables o raw data range)
PD: Paste Special box short shortcut: Alt Gr + V
I'm glad you found something useful Thomas.
This channel is so underrated !
Ctrl+page up and Ctrl+page down to toggle between work sheets.
Alt+⬇️ on first cell of a filtered column to see the drop down list.
To auto adjust cell’s width in a table “Ctrl+A then Alt+O+C+A”.
To insert boundaries to the cell, Ctrl+A then Alt+ H+B+A...
And many more..
All good ones. Thanks for that.
The best shortcut I know.... Alt - A - C which clears all filters, without turning off the filter option from the table
@Ali T a shortcut is defined as an alternative route to get from A to B, that is shorter than the one usually taken
@Ali T 😂 because Ctrl + O is not a combination of keys? Sorry to have wasted your time, bro 😎 I bow to your far superior intellect 😂
@Ali T and to you, my friend… and to you
@@andywdrums gave a good chuckle there mate 😂
Hey, what ever the name it is, it works for me. Thanks.😊
You are the best excel guru on the entire Internet, love your videos and the knowledge you share! Thank you!
Paste Special box shortcut
Ctrl+Alt+V
Rohit Jain That is the shortcut that most colleagues ask me about: “How did you do that?!”
Oh good, that one is fairly easy to remember too!
The best one is menu key + V
I prefer Ctrl+V to paste and then ctrl followed by V to select paste values or Ctrl then M to paste unfromated text
Thank you Leila for the video, awesome. I Wana ask what is the tool you use to make your videos?
As a totally blind person using screen reading software, I have learned several hot key commands. That is how I learned to use the software. Thank you for this video and for adding a few I didn't know. You're doing a great job.
Thank you! I'm so glad it's helpful for you.
Highlight a dataset and press Ctrl + . This is go through all the four corner values of the data set turn by turn. This is especially important to check if the formula and references are correctly captured.
Use this all the time. Love this for large ranges. Very fast way to verify the correct selected range.
I like to add more - Insert New Sheet - Shift + f11
Delete Sheet - Alt + H + D + S
Open Name manager Dialogue Box - Ctrl + f3
Remove formatting - Select All Cell - Press - Alt + H + E + A
One bonus which is very Important and frequently used option - Open Data Validation - Alt + D + L
I hope this gonna work for All
To paste as values,
I like to use the short cut
Alt+H+V+V
Easier to remember and quicker to insert
I too like this shortcut
Because excel automatically shows up this shortcut by pressing alt key.
Alt+H->home
Alt+H+V->paste
Alt+H+V+V-> paste as values
One of the best channels on youtube for me , beg thanks
Cntrl + D = fill down
Cntrl + page up/down = Go to next/previous sheet
Shift+cmd+v - when you want to past only formatting, without affecting values in the destination cell.
for special pasting - I use always contol+cmd+v and then select what i need to paste
Which is cmd button on keyboard
Useful tips, thanks a lot Leila, need to add a tip (if not mentioned somewhere before) : to drag cell(s) from one sheet to another one : highlight the cell(s) press "ALT" key then drag from the cell(s) edge to any other sheet in the same workbook.
Some great shortcuts, and I didn't know the one for highlighting the numerical constants at the end. I shall practice that one!
One of my favourites is an alternative to yours for Copy and Paste Values. The Ctrl key on its own opens Smart Tags, so what I do is this:
Select, then copy with Ctrl C
Paste as normal with Ctrl V, but then tap and release Ctrl, then V. This opens the Smart Tag and selects the Values option. Other letters select other options in the Smart Tag box, e.g. Ctrl then A gives you Values and number formatting.
Thank you. For pasting as Value we can do it fast with right mouse button. Ctlr + drag with right button
This is a very informative video, I highly recommend it. Most of the short cut keys work . But some shortcut keys of my excel are different. For example, in my excel, the shortcut key of the autosum is "Command+Shift+T". You may need to check your shortcut key or customize one in your excel under "Tools"→"Customize Keyboard".
Thanks for the great comments. I use "Alt ;" all the time to copy visible cells only (instead of using the "select special" menu). You highlight the area you want to copy first, then type "Alt ;", and then Ctrl-C to copy... now you can go paste this anywhere with Ctrl-V (or right-click paste), and you'll only be pasting the visible cell you copied.
Ctrl+[ to go to the linked cell & F5+enter to return back.
This one is amazing! Thank you for that ;)
really, never thought about it. for mac, works the same, but to return back use ]

@@XAE_A_Xii you need to work hard
I've been looking for this one forever..
Hi Leila! Paste as values. Select a cell, put cursor to the boundary of the cell, right click and drag to destination cell, leave right button, select paste values. Following you in Skillshare!
You're my best teacher in excel
I'm using "Alt W F F" for freezing columns and rows which is very useful for me
Very useful alt w f f
I use Alt DFF
Clear Filter (NOT Remove) = ALT + A + C
Unhide Row: CTRL + SHIFT + 9
Unhide Column: ALT + O + C + U
Alt EST for paste formats
Alt ESF for paste formulas
Ctrl + D (Duplicate) on single cell copies whatever is above the cell whether constant or formula but on a highlighted column, copies the first highlighted cell to the rest of the highlighted cells.
Thank you so much. Leila. Excellent presentation skills and delivered at a good pace. I train professionals for a living and it was great to see content set out, both logically and without any unnecessary waffle. A life saver !as I needed to check-in with my 'sleepy' Excel skills . Will be following your other videos.
For paste values ctrl+alt+v>v>Enter also works
Alt+M,D to quickly trace dependents (nice in combination with Ctrl+[ and F5 mentioned below). Ctrl+tilde to toggle formula view on or off.
Shift+F10 for a context-sensitive right-click, opening up lots of possibilities with context menus.
Another awesome video! Shortcuts make my job so much easier!
Thank you very much for all the short cut tricks. You are awesome!
Very useful, thanks.
Super!!! Good tutorial to watch even after so many years of experience in excel. Thank You. Cntrl + D or Cntrl + R are also useful shortcuts for quick copy downwards or to the right.
@Leila Gharani You've taught me the fundamentals of MS Office much better than anyone else. I'm constantly working with all these platforms, but hardly knew the tricks to use it efficiently.
Thanks a million 🙏🙏🙏
Some of my other favorites are
Ctrl ~ = switches to a view to show formulas in text. Can toggle off and on
Alt E S T, or Alt E S F (or for transpose, multiply, etc)
Not specific to excel but the windows key + arrow keys is amazing with multiple or large monitors to move your windows around and split screen
Shift F9 same as F9 but only on the current tab. Big help in large data files
Alt + =
F5, Alt s. Is new to me...
Your videos are really awesome and advanced, I get always something new every time I watche a video of yours even about known topic.
Great to hear!
Awesome lecture! It would be really helpful for the ppl working in actual field.
Now this was very helpful. Thanks
Ctrl + k to create a hyperlink
Ctrl + u to expand the formula bar
Ctrl+Shift+U to expand the formulebar
Thanks a lot Leila,one shortcut I learnt is ALt+W+F+R to freeze the top row
Ctrl-D to fill down, F2 to edit active cell, and F12 to save as... are among my most used shortcuts not mentioned in this video.
Personally I find the old versions far superior for the ease of discovering keyboard shortcuts. The loathsome ribbon interface in 2007 onward hides the handy Alt key menus (unless you had already memorized them from running older versions, which is why the dropdown menus were already better in the first place.)
Excel 5.0 inside of Office 4.3 also allows you to revert the menus to the Excel 4.0 format and back, which makes some repetitive keyboard shortcuts even faster.
Agreed on the ribbon mess. Microsoft started downhill when they decided users needed to see enormous images and banners and grey bars that take up a third of the screen. Removing and minimizing them is a temporary fix. Now, Teams is a nightmare of trash that forces the shared images to be less than half the screen.
@@TrilobitesRTasty And it gets even worse for those of us with vision problems who need lower screen resolutions. The ribbon mess just takes up way too much of the screen at low resolutions.
@@DavidWonn YES! I'm an old guy...and the so-called "Accessibility Settings" that Microsoft creates are unusable. So it is with monopoly power. They have dominance over the desktop, so no longer have to provide good products.
Both of my retinae detached, so I prefer the zooming capabilities on my tablet over the accessibility features on newer PCs. One of the reasons is that over time, Microsoft gradually removed support for lower resolutions. This makes me gravitate to my ancient IBM PS/2, which allows me to run it in a sub-VGA resolution at 640*400 on Windows NT 3.51.
@@DavidWonn Ouch. I have a history of retinal detachment in my family. For now, I just keep buying bigger monitors. At least the price of those is dropping (mostly).
Holding shift so that you can drop a row or column between two rows or columns... I have needed to know this for so long! Thank you!
Her voice is awesome, i can improve my communication by listening to her
Cringe
Thirst...
Best online teacher, the way to teach is awesome.
Many thanks for the kind words!
Ctrl+tilda, squiggly key below Escape key, shows the formulas behind the value.
Great video by the way!
F2 will do.
@@BulkCarrierChiefMate try it once and u can feel the difference
I really enjoy your videos.....Excel is something with infinite possibilities....
My fav and an addition to the 1st tip (Ctlr + Shift + L) is related to a table with filters:
Use "Alt + down arrow" at the filter location.
This enables / opens up the drop down menu where one can select whichever they want.
Hope this helps. :)
I wish I'd found this years ago! Love from Brazil.
Working on sheets
Shift + F11 = add sheet
Alt + O H R = rename sheet
Alt + E L = delete sheet
Alt + E M = move or copy sheet
Alt + O H H = hide sheet
Alt + O H U = unhide sheet
These made my work easier. 😁😁😁
ctrl+pageup change sheets
ctrl+pagedown
shift+f2 comments
alt+f11 vba
Very helpful shortcuts. Thank you for sharing.
@@LeilaGharani h
In keyboard F4 is use for repeat action, means if you use any shortcut and then press F4 excel will repeat the same for ex- Alt + I + W will add worksheet if you press F4 50 times 50 sheets will be added.
Just wondering why someone will thumb down on an awesome video like this.
Haters
Dumb people and there is plenty of those
Because they are morons.
They are stupid
U can see some poops in some public place right
These kind of people like that they cnnt appreciate something good
And they cnnt do also something good
Great tips, thanks. An additional, the recently added right-click menu shortcut on keyboards is very useful in Excel. Alt+E+S+V is like right-click (keyboard) then V.
cntrl+s, cntrl+v, cntrl+c,cntrl+x, alt+=, alt+shift+➡, F2 to quickly rename files in folders, F2 to enter cell followed by F7 to spell check, cntrl+A, and others. however,, there are some new ones here I will be using for sure., thanks Leila.
Really useful. Just want to add one of mine, Ctr + ~ to show all the formulas in the sheet and same to hide.
I’ve learnt more new ones from the comments section than the video itself!
My additions would be:
Alt + down arrow on a filter cell and alt+ space bar to select and unselect filtered texts
For paste as value: you can use ctrl C and then ctrl V and again Ctrl and after press V. My favourite and fastest.
Slightly faster if using macros, if you need to do this often:
Put the below into your personal file, then assign the macro a shortcut of control-shift-V, or whatever shortcut you like.
Sub PasteSpecialValues() 'shortcut ctrl-shift-V (paste values)
Application.DisplayAlerts = False: On Error Resume Next: Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues: Application.DisplayAlerts = True: End Sub
Assign "Paste Value" to Quick Access Toolbar and then you only have to press Alt + 4 (or 5 or 6 or... depending on personalization). Only 2 buttons - it's the fastest...
Easiest is ctrl C then you right click on the cell and press v
Your videos are awesome. Been using Excel for several years but still learn things from you that I never knew and they make life easier. Thank you!
Glad to help!
Ma’am, you just saved my professional life. Thank you very much!
My pleasure Karim. Glad it's helpful.
I like your teaching
You have good technique and amazing for me
Thanks so much for such a clear and concise method of teaching!
Shift+F10+V is a shorter way to Paste Values. Shift+F10 brings up the right click menu. You can then also use this to paste formatting (+R) or formulas (+F)
Ctrl+Alt+v directly opens the Paste special dialog box. You can then press V for values only, E to transpose the data, and so on
I am really enjoying this channel. Your videos have been a great help.
I'm glad to hear that :)
*Ctrl +1* and *Ctrl+E* are awesome, Thanks
Careful with the Autosum if there are any blank cells in the column or row.
Not only blanks, if we have different any nunber in Bold will also be a block for auto sum.
In case you have subtotals - auto sum helps us in totaling only sub totals :)
@@satyavijay4913 Good points. Somewhat related though not a shortcut... Leila has a great video on =AGGREGATE() function and =SUBTOTAL(). I've been using the latter for years but just learned about the former, much more powerful function recently.
Thanx for the video it was very helpful there is one short cut for you,
1. Use Ctrl+R to copy in horizonal on the right side.
CTRL+PgDn (navigate to another sheet) CTRL+PgUp (navigate up to the previous sheet)
Thank you! I shared your video with my team this morning and it was well received.
Thanks. Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ to find related cells.
Hi, to get to the top/bottom/left/right end you can also double click on the side of an cell, it takes you to the last filled cell
Ctrl + * (the star/ multiply sign) selects all of the data - even if there are empty spaces or gaps
I think the same results are accomplished by using Ctrl + A but I might be missing something.
Flash fill ctrl + E, Date and Time CTRL +; (Semi column) for Date and CTRL + SHIFT + : for Time at last my favorite is to find constant f5 then alt + SOX, These short cut never knew infact i didnt know whether excel have such functions.
Hi All,
Alt Pg dn - move column wise right
Alt Pg up - move column wise left
Hope it's help 👍🙂
Thanks Leila
it makes more easier to understand the way you are describing. Thanks Ma'am @Leila Gharani
Following is one short key that I use to select the required columns at one instance to past in different sheet, for example random 5 from 30 columns/rows
Select column then Shift -(minus)
Then select another column then again Shift -
U can use it n number of times as u wanted.
The way she present is stunning.. Clear Explanation..Got some ideas for my Videos 😎
