Empowering Businesses with Microsoft 365 Excel Training

Unlocking the Power of Excel

At Engage IT, our mission is to empower businesses with the tools and knowledge they need to excel in today’s digital landscape. Recently, we partnered with the Southland Business Chamber to deliver a series of training sessions focused on Microsoft 365, with a special emphasis on the powerful features of Excel.

Unlocking the Power of Excel

Excel is more than just a spreadsheet tool; it’s a robust platform for data analysis, visualization, and decision-making. During our training sessions, we explored a variety of features designed to help businesses fully leverage Excel’s capabilities.

In this article, we share ‘Our Favourite Keyboard Shortcuts’, personally tested and recommended by Steph:

  • Ctrl + Enter: Enter data but stay on the current cell.
  • Ctrl C / Ctrl X / Ctrl V: Copy / Cut / Paste.
  • Ctrl + D: Fill Down.
  • Alt + =: Autosum.
  • Ctrl + Home: Move to the beginning of the worksheet.
  • Ctrl + End: Move to the last cell on a worksheet.
  • Ctrl + Shift + V: Paste values.
  • Ctrl + Shift + Arrows: Select the whole column or row of data.
  • Shift + Arrows: Highlight one cell at a time.
  • Ctrl + Arrows: Navigate to the top/bottom/left/right of the data.
