The Best Excel Shortcuts

A one page PDF with the best & most useful Microsoft Excel Shortcuts.

Description
Save time using Excel shortcuts! 

Here is a one-pager of the best shortcuts (over 40 of them). In each case, I give you the shortcut key combination, a short description of the action it performs plus an additional description or comments, where relevant. These are for common tasks and the shortcuts will enable you to perform them more efficiently. 

I have organised the shortcuts into the following task areas, so you can quickly find what you need:
* File open / save / close
* Navigate
* Input / edit
* Copy and paste
* Format
* Find, select and hide
* Insert and delete
* Analyse
* Other

Some other lists of shortcuts I have seen are just that - simply lists containing many shortcuts which are not organised into tasks areas, so finding what you need is very difficult and I find many of the shortcuts included are not very useful in daily work. 

Use my list and you can focus on the essentials. That's efficient!

I recommend you print out the sheet and keep it on your desk to refer to. Set yourself the goal of learning and practicing one or two shortcuts per week, and make them part of your daily work. Then mark the ones you have learnt with a highlighter pen to show your progress. That should help motivate you :-)
