Comprehensive List of Excel Keyboard Shortcuts Posted on February 22nd, 2010 in Featured , Learn Excel - 51 comments Few weeks back I have invited all of you to share your excel keyboard shortcuts in a open thread. More than 50 people commented on that post and shared a hundred excel keyboard shortcuts with us. There were so many wonderful keyboard shortcuts and tricks buried in the comments section of that post. During the weekend, I spent sometime to collect all these beautiful shortcuts and arranged them neatly so that you can easily learn them. Special thanks to all the commenters on the original post. Without you I couldn’t have learned these shortcuts.

Clear all contents ALT + EAA => ALT + LEA 5) Ethoros February 22, 2010 “Selects all the way to a1 from cursor position SelectionCTRL + SHIT + HOME” You might get a smelly finger if you use that shortcut Think you missed the F out 6) Leonel Q. February 22, 2010 I think it would be cool if you add a Printer friendly button. 7) kjo February 22, 2010 gr8 job..Chandoo.. n all others.. How about translating german contribution by stef@n ?? Regards. 8) Hui... February 23, 2010 Chandoo One you missed CTRL + ALT +F9 Rebuilds the internal links within a spreadsheet and then saves I think it is similar to the Open, Repair option in 2007 9) chrisham February 23, 2010 Chandoo, great post! Chandoo there’s yet a very important shortcut key that should get mention for its huge benefit. The CTRL +. (Period) helps bring back the yellow diamond shaped Symbol that usually is available only on the Top Cell of a selected Column. So instead of scrolling your way all the way to the top, with a click of CTRL +. makes this accessible immediately, and by clicking on it, giving you a number of options like converting text to number etc etc. 10) chrisham February 23, 2010 Chandoo, how about having a seperate blog for Excel VBA shortcut keys??? 11) oldchippy February 23, 2010 Hi Chandoo, Here’s another useful one for the formatting group. To erase all formatting from your selected cells Alt + E + A + F (easy to remember E[rase] + A[ll] + F[ormats] Note that dates/times format to general numbers/decimals 12) Chandoo February 23, 2010 Very good additions Stef@n and Cyril. @Leonel: I am trying to prepare a print.css for my blog. It is one of those low priority tasks, so I kind of neglected it. I could use plugins but they un-necessarily slow down the blog. @Hui.. I didnt forget it. I just dont know it

thanks for sharing the beautiful shortcut.

@Chrisham: Wow, I didnt know that. thank you Also, my VBA programming is very limited. I never had to use shortcuts in that. But if you know some good ones, send them over to me (chandoo.d @ gmail.com) I will upload a new post later next week.

February 23, 2010 Hello again. I was trying to use Chrisham’s shortcut in my french Excel and I found this weird shortcut : CTRL + . (period form numpad only) This one change the corner selected (turns clockwise) in a selection range. CTRL + SHIFT + ; (SHIFT+; = . period with french keyboard) bring “Photo” icon in the quick toolbar. Doesn’t seem to do anything else. Cyril 16) Cyril Z. February 23, 2010 err.. should have written CTRL+, (comma) Sorry 17) scotty February 23, 2010 Nice list of shortcuts. It’s good to be reminded of the old Alt + menu key shortcuts (I just wish more of them still worked in XL 2007). Although the list is great, an Excel table would be much, much better! 18) sk1412 February 23, 2010 Hey together my idea: let’s create a list / table of all short-cuts shortcut – english – german – french – … – … – … good idea ?? Stef@n you can translate it with http://translate.google.de/# 19) sk1412 February 23, 2010 AND don’t forget short-cut’s like Alt + Alt + Alt + Alt + Alt + Alt + Alt + AltGr

I *love* lengthy elaborate and passionate discussions. That is the whole purpose of this blog. Thank you so much for your shortcuts and ideas. I like your idea “let’s create a list / table of all short-cuts shortcut – english – german – french” Unfortunately we cannot use google translate to do this. I will make a base template and release it later this week or next week. Folks from other countries and fill it and send it back to me.

Editing CTRL + SHIFT + ” You can also use CTRL + D. 25) Subodh Gupta February 24, 2010 Never mind what I said… It’s there already. 26) MADACCOUNTANT March 15, 2010 Try CTRL ~ (tilde). This command will view any worksheet formulas. This is great for quick on the fly eyeballing a worksheet that you are reviewing. This is my second post, not sure if the first one went through. 27) Stef@n March 16, 2010 Hey CTRL ~ (tilde) is STRG # in Germany but it doesn’t work in switzerland :O … what i mean: It does not seem quite so easy to create a “comprehensive” overview best regards Stef@n 28) MADACCOUNTANT March 16, 2010 Greetings, Stef@n I am not sure about what the translation is for this in Switzerland (Swedish), however the purpose of the command (CTRL ~ ) is to view all of the cell data and range formulas in a worksheet in one view. Maybe we can try something together to make it work for you. Let me know what your feedback is…. are you getting a message in EXCEL when you use this command? Also, maybe you have a Global setting function that might prevent this from working? Let’s see what we can come up with together. 29) Stef@n March 17, 2010 Hey I think that problem is the keyboard layout In Germany there is a button (next to the key input) you can typed on the following characters AltGr + shift * ~ (tilde) So: in many countries, the keyboard layout is different. ie: Ctrl (AltGr) ~ does not work at all. The following formulas only when you press Ctrl # the only way is, in my view – the use of vba Sub formulasHide () ActiveWindow.DisplayFormulas = False End Sub Sub formulasFade () ActiveWindow.DisplayFormulas = True End Sub regards Stef@n 30) MADACCOUNTANT March 17, 2010 Stef@n

Professionally I am interested about Accessibility in Office System as shown here: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/office2007/ and keyboard navigation: http://office.microsoft.com/training/Training.aspx?AssetID=RP100664581033&CTT=6& Origin=RC100664431033 and keyboard shortcuts: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/products/keyboard.aspx but in Spanish language as shown here: http://office.microsoft.com/es-es/excel/HP100738483082.aspx You should know that keyboard shortcuts methods are different in different languages and with different keyboard layouts, so your mammoth project to assemble all in one piece it should apply only to English language and there is no automatic translator to translate the keyboard shortcuts methods. For my part, once you publish the English sheet, I could be able to develop the corresponding Spanish version. 35) Joe April 30, 2010 Great list. Love the Select Visible Cells Only. That saves a lot clicks with Edit/GoTo/Special/Visible Cells Only. Thanks! 36) Hui... June 3, 2010 Not technically Excel Shortcuts but these works just the same Windows Button + Right/Left Arrow – Toggles from Current Window position to Left Half Display, Right Half Display and Back to Current View Windows Button + Up Arrow – Toggles from Current Window position to Full Screen Display and back to current position Windows Button + Down Arrow – Toggles from Current Window position to minimised position 37) Hui... June 3, 2010 Alternate Keyboard Shortcut for Right Click – Press the Menu Button which is located between the Alt and Ctrl keys on the Right Side of the Space Bar. 38) Excel Shortcuts June 9, 2010

I added custom keyboard shortcuts using Simple Shortcuts (http://www.simpleshortcuts.net)… It’s addictive. They have these cool customizable cycles that save me a ton of time. It looks like they’re working on a new program called Smart Shortcuts (http://www.smartshortcuts.com) that is supposed to be even better. I can’t wait to try it… 39) oldchippy June 11, 2010 Chandoo, I haven’t seen this one yet in the list – Ctrl+6 When you have a chart covering your dataset toggle Ctrl+6 to clear the chart out of the way and back again 40) Oli June 25, 2010 I know you can drag sheet tabs with the mouse to re-order them and even drag them from one workbook into another but I didn’t know (until about 5 mins. ago) – if you hold the Ctrl key and then drag the sheet tab it will create a duplicate. PS Is it common knowledge that the office button (xl 2007) when clicked once (to open the menu also turns red and if you click it once more will act as an ‘Off’ button completely closing Excel. Not great if you stutter a mouse click – everything shuts! 41) Lock July 14, 2010 anyone tried the ALT + PGUp or ALT + PGDown. It pages left and right, so easy to scan accross a table rather than using left/right arrow, or CTRL & left/right arrow which can take you too far. Another v. easy method to generate your own shortcuts is to use icons. Eg, the paste values icon, with the name “&V” means that if I now type ALT + V it will paste values. 42) neeraj August 17, 2010 Hi, Use full information for all that people whom r learning Excel 43) S23 November 24, 2010 Thanks to Google Translate : Here is the translation of Stef@n’s shortcuts: Hope this helps!!
