RE: flying in excel

Hi Nick

Thank you for your question. I've had a look around and it appears that these hidden games were in Excel 97 and 2000. Collectively these secret games and levels are often referred to as "Easter Eggs". Whilst they are often omitted from official documentation you may find the key cominations to trigger them online. For example a search for Excel Easter egg might return the results you are looking for for example this page lists Excel examples:

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further quesitons.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Hi Nick

Thanks for the feedback and for letting me know you've had chance to put things into practice. That's always great to hear! I'm certain you'll get lots out of the Advanced course too.

Kind regards and have a great weekend,

Andrew

Excel tip:

Shortcuts for working with named ranges in Excel

If you are working with or creating named ranges in your spreadsheets, then you may find the following shortcut keys useful.

- Bring up the Define Names dialogue box on screen by using Ctrl + F3 (instead of going to Insert - Names).

- Create Names from labels you have entered into the spreadsheet by highlighting the labels and related figures, then hold down Shift + Ctrl + F3. You can then choose to create names from the top or bottom rows, or left or right columns.

- Go directly to a named range by hitting the F5 key. The Go To dialogue box will open and display any named ranges in the spreadsheet. Simply select the named range to navigate to it in the spreadsheet.
