∙ 9y agoThere are many hotkeys, also known as shortcut keys, in Excel. It is a very versatile application, so it does a lot of things and there are many shortcut keys for speeding these processes up. Many are universal to other applications, such as Ctrl-C for Copy, Ctrl-X for Cut and Ctrl-V for Paste. Then there are ones that just apply to Excel, like F4 to change the cell reference style, or Ctrl - ' to copy a value or formula from the cell above or Ctrl - Shift - 5 to change the cell formatting to percentage. See the link below for more.
