Some of the best Excel shortcuts keys which are most essential are mentioned below. They will make the work of creating charts, formatting workbooks and analyzing data really easy and comfortable for the excel users.
In Excel we have so many shortcut keys in which few Excel key shortcuts we use regularly e.g. Ctrl+C is Excel copy shortcuts, Ctrl+V is Excel paste shortcuts etc.
Below are the few Excel 2010, Excel 2013 shortcuts keys
| Tab | Moves one cell to the right in a worksheet |
| SHIFT+TAB | Moves to the previous cell in a worksheet. |
| CTRL+TAB | Switches to the next tab in dialog box. |
| CTRL+SHIFT+TAB | Switches to the previous tab in a dialog box. |
| CTRL+1 | Displays the Format Cells dialog box. |
| CTRL+SHIFT+L | This is Excel filter keyboard shortcuts, use for filtering a column. E.g. If you have to set a couple of filters, and you already have filters placed in your data, instead of clearing each filter which is time-consuming, just turn-off and turn-on the filters, by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+L twice and your work is done. |
| CTRL+Arrow keys | To select a group of cells. Eg. it is difficult when you have to deal with large data and use the mouse to navigate the database. So to make your work easier, just rely on CTRL + arrow key combinations all the time to select a group of cells. |
| ALT+ES – Paste Special > Values | Pasting the value.E.g. When we apply any formula and want only the values to be shown in the cells, we need to use copy and then paste special values. If we need to get data from other workbooks or need to format existing tables, we can use ALT+ES (press E then leave the key and press S) to paste special value. |
| F4 | Repeat the last command or action. E.g. If the color of text in a particular cell is changed, you can repeat the command by just pressing F4. This key can be used to repeat any action that was last performed provided the file is still open. |
| F2 | Edit a selected cell. You can use F2 to edit a cell or formula in a cell. |
| Ctrl + F3 | Add name for any range. E.g. If you are making a dashboard or Excel model, just press Shift + F3, no matter where you are (formula editing, conditional formatting, data validation etc.) and you get a list of all the defined names. Pick one and press ok to add it to the formula you are typing. |
| CTRL+K | Add Hyperlink. E.g. If you have more than a one sheet, Hyperlinks make your work book accessible and save your time. You can directly link the pages to one another using so that the sheets are accessible on a single click of the hyperlink. |
