Switching between keyboard input languages can be a common task (especially for multilingual people). Holding SHIFT key will insert data between rows or columns (can also be combined with ALT).Holding CTRL while moving will copy data (works together with ALT if you want to copy it onto a new worksheet),.Simply moving data around serves like cut and copy on a single sheet,.Note: With the data selected, there are quite a few options open to you: Afterward, just point your cursor to a new location in a new worksheet where you want to paste the data. This will enable you to switch between Excel WorkSheets while still holding the mouse key and moving data. Once you start moving around a selection of data, make sure you hold the ALT key. However, there may be a more effective approach. We usually help ourselves by a simple cut and paste to get the job done. Moving data around sheets is a common task. So in this instance make sure you hold down ALT + SHIFT before pressing the “ ,” sign or you will just switch the keyboard.
SIMPLY HDR KEY SERIES
It is crucial that whenever you press ALT + SHIFT in combination with other keys, that you actually complete the series otherwise you could just end up with your keyboard giving you strange symbols instead of the desired ones. NOTE: If you’re using a keyboard language other than English US, you probably know that a shortcut to change the keyboard input language is ALT + SHIFT. Press CTRL + C to copy data, and paste your data ( CTRL + V) where you intended to.
You should notice a visible difference, there should be a discrete white line between the data and hidden row numbers. Select the data you would like to copy with a simple CTRL+A, and then press ALT +. That would be ok for a small dataset but what, if we had more hidden rows in other parts of our data? That is exactly where ALT + comes to the rescue. We get all the data, even the hidden rows.īut how do we get around this problem? One solution would be to hold CTRL and then select all the rows we need as separate ranges. If we simply select this range of data and copy it, this happens. N I would like to copy only visible data (the rows that I can see) onto a new sheet.įirst, let’s look at what not to do. That is the fastest way to making a costly mistake. When in a rush to copy-paste data, you may sometimes forget about all the hidden rows you have. This is sometimes used as you can do certain things on a Chart Sheet in Excel that you can’t do if Chart is an object on a “normal” Excel Sheet. If you would like to see your chart on a special Chart Sheet (yes Excel has those ? ), try F11 instead of ALT + F1. In order to change this default setting, go to Charts group on Insert Ribbon, make a right-click on a particular chart type you would like, right-click Set as Default. Note: You will get a default Excel chart. This is a quick win for you and also one of my favorite Excel Shortcuts of all time :), so let’s dive into it.įirst, select the data you want to chart (or just click on our data range ), then just press ALT + F1 and that’s it. Heads-Up: This shortcut may not work at first. Really amazing and definitely worth remembering and using to get faster and more efficient in Excel. If you select the row below our numbers at the bottom, and the empty column to the right, you will get all the SUMs in one move. If you select the empty column, to the right, ( Apples + Pears column), you will get a sum of Apples + Pairs. But why? If you select just the cells you would like to sum up, Apples column in our example, and press ALT + =, only that column will be summed up with the result written in the first empty cell underneath the data selected. Let’s take a look at the contents of cells (look inside the formula bar) B15, C15, and D15 to see whether we actually got the SUM function. Now simply press ALT + = and there it is. Note: you can select data without headers as well. But whatever way you chose, there is a faster way to SUM your data in Excel.įirst, let’s select the data we would like to sum up. You could also just start typing with the “=” (equal) sign and continue typing SUM afterward to call the function faster. Question: How can we SUM this data quickly, in Excel?ĭo you know the fx button near the formula bar? That good old click on the formula bar and then scrolling to find SUM. IF you find it easier to learn through Videos, here is a link to the Excel Olympics YouTube video explaining all the shortcuts described in this post. Let’s look at some great things you can do using Alt-based shortcuts in Excel. But if you don’t, you are missing some great shortcuts. But very rarely do users use shortcuts with the Alt key. Sometimes we will even use some that use Ctrl and Shift keys. I guess we all use our fair amount of Excel shortcuts that start with Ctrl.
