  • Microsoft Office is the major product for any office. MS-Excel is also an important part of the MS Office. I am mentioning hereunder some tips to be expert easily:

    Just avoid the use of the mouse in Excel for some time and use the shortcut keys i.e. Ctrl + A to select all etc.

    Select all MS Excel files to open together using Shift + Left Click or Ctrl + Left Click and press Enter to open them. Ctrl + Tab can be used to shift between opened worksheets.

    To add column or row; drag and select the columns or rows to add. Use right-click on it and choose the Insert option.

    Press the Ctrl key and drag the selected data to copy or move it to another cell immediately and the Ctrl key used to move all the selected data.

    Using data filter we can delete the blank fields using Select All option and select Blanks under the Data Filter option.

    For fast navigation and easy control use Ctrl key together with any of the direction keys i.e. Ctrl + Arrow Buttons.

    Using conditional formating; we can make New Rules and then click Format only cells that contain or Format all cells based on their values (select an option from the Select a Rule Type menu) and fill the required parameters and click OK to get results. We can also edit the existing rules using Edit the Rule or Delete the Rule.

    IF Statement; in formula bar, we can apply if statement example; =IF("select the data range"<18, "Minor", "Adult")
    IF selected cell value is less than 18 then the result will be "Minor" and if the selected cell value is more than equal to 18 then the result will be "Adult".

    There are so many formulas i.e. VLookUps, Concatenate, Sum, Average, Date, Count, Day, Today, etc.

    We can get help by clicking the Insert Function (fx) button on the formula bar.
