Shortcuts

Is there a shortcut available to be able to get to the end of data in a certain column, for example, you have 250 rows of data and are at row 1, to save scrolling to the end, is there a shortcut to get you to row 251?

RE: Shortcuts

Hello John,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel Intermediate course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding shortcuts.

You can click on any cell in the column of data and then hold down the CTRL key followed by the down-arrow key. This will take your cursor to the last data cell.

Some other useful shortcuts:

1) Select the first cell of a column of data followed by CTRL + Shift + Down-arrow to select all the data in that column

2) CTRL + Home always takes you to cell A1

3) CTRL + A selects all the data in a table

To find more shortcuts in Excel go to Help then type Key Tips into the search box and press enter. In the list look for Excel Shortcuts. Print these out for later use.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney

Excel tip:

Return to the active cell after scrolling

When I scroll a long way down the screen from a selected cell, I can return to that cell with the Ctrl+Back Space shortcut. The active cell now appears in roughly the middle of the screen.

Shift+Back Space does something similar. Scroll down from the active cell and Shift+Back Space returns me to it and puts the active cell at the top of the screen; scroll up from the active cell and Shift+Back Space returns me to it and puts the active cell at the bottom of the screen.

Note also, that while Ctrl+Back Space will return me back to a selected range, Shift+Back Space only ever returns me to the active cell, which is normally at the top left-hand corner of any selected range.
