Who is... TheExcelAddict? My name is Francis Hayes. I live in Newfoundland, the most easterly island off the east coast of Canada. By June of 1992, I had been working with SuperCalc3 spreadsheets on a MS-DOS computer for 5 years. I had always been someone who was constantly looking for faster and easier ways to do things, so using SuperCalc 3 was a frustrating experience for me because I knew there had to be a better way. Francis Hayes (The Excel Addict) When the company I worked for bought new computers with Microsoft Windows and Excel 4.0, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It seemed to me, at that time, everything I had ever wanted a spreadsheet to do was designed right into Excel. I was so excited that eight hours working with Excel at my day job wasn t enough. I spent countless hours each night at home learning all of the amazing new capabilities Excel was offering me. I read every magazine and book I could get my hands on to discover Excel s 'hidden' secrets. Within a few months I was developing workbooks that, to my co-workers, worked like magic. I had discovered, and was using, hundreds of shortcuts and tricks that helped me get hours and hours of work done in mere minutes...sometimes in just seconds. I wanted to share my new found discoveries with everyone, but to my surprise, not everyone around me was as excited about Excel as I was. Most preferred to do things their own way. They were too busy to learn how to work more efficiently. In 2003, I decided to share my knowledge and excitement with other Excel users by creating my own website and newsletter. Since then I have helped tens of thousands of Excel addicts in more than 100 countries around the world. To this day, I get just as excited every time I sit down to work with Excel. I still find a lot of Excel users who prefer to figure it out on their own, but I know there are millions more Excel users out there who would love to know faster and smarter ways to get their work done. I get a lot of satisfaction from helping people who are just beginning to realize how awesome Excel can be once you begin discovering its secrets. If you are new to Excel, or even if you have been using it for years, I m sure that in this book you will discover many new and exciting ways of doing things that you either thought couldn t be done or hadn t even thought of doing. My goal is to get YOU as excited about Excel as I am. If you like what you see in my book, why not drop by my website TheExcelAddict.com and join almost 40,000 other Excel Addicts, where I will be sharing many more of Excel's amazing tips, tricks and resources to help you become an 'Excel Addict' too.

Quick Access to Your Most Frequently-Used Commands Starting with Excel 2007, the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) has appeared, almost unnoticeably above the Ribbon. It contains only three commands: Save, Undo, and Redo. Unfortunately, because it is so obscure, most people don't know what it's for. The good news is that the QAT could become one of the most important tools you'll use in Excel. By adding the commands that YOU use most frequently to your QAT, this new personalized toolbar will give you convenient, one-click access to all of these commands. As you know, many commands you use regularly in Excel are often on a different tab than the one you have active or you may have to click through several levels to get to the command you need. By putting these commands on the QAT, you won't have to go searching for them. One click and you're done! IT'S SO SIMPLE to add commands to the QAT. Just locate a command on the Ribbon, right-click on it and choose 'Add to Quick Access Toolbar''and it appears on your QAT. Over time, these frequent small savings of time can really improve your productivity. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 1 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Move Your Quick Access Toolbar Below Ribbon By moving your Quick Access Toolbar below the Ribbon, you can access your QAT commands faster because your mouse doesn't have to travel as far. It may seem like a small distance but it can make a big difference. This is a personal preference of mine. Give it a try and see if it works better for you. To move your QAT below the Ribbon, right-click anywhere on the Ribbon or QAT and select 'Show Quick Access Toolbar Below the Ribbon'. To restore your QAT above the Ribbon, right-click anywhere on the Ribbon or QAT and select 'Show Quick Access Toolbar Above the Ribbon'.

Do It Again and Again and Again To duplicate or repeat the last action you took in Excel, simply press the F4 key. This shortcut doesn't work on EVERY command (experiment to find out) but it is still one of Excel's best shortcuts. A couple of examples: After you delete a row, select another row and press F4 to repeat the delete. Apply a format to a range of cells, then select another range of cells and press F4 to repeat the same formatting. Alternatively you can repeat the previous action by pressing CTRL+Y or clicking the Redo command on the Quick Access Toolbar. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 3 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Enter the Same Value or Formula in Multiple Cells in One Step Whenever you want to enter the same value or formula in multiple cells, don't do what most Excel users do (i.e. type the value or formula into the first cell then copy and paste to the other cells). The smart way to do this is to first select all of the cells you want to put the values/formulas into, then type the value or formula once, but don't press ENTER yet, instead press CTRL+ ENTER. The value or formula will be instantly entered in all of the cells you have selected. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 4 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Evaluate Parts of a Complex Formula When a large, complex formula returns the wrong result, you will need to figure out which part of it contains the error. Fortunately it's easy to evaluate small sections of a large complex formula using a simple keyboard shortcut. (1) Select the cell containing the formula; (2) Click in the Formula Bar (or double-click to edit directly in the cell), click and drag to select just the part of formula that you want to evaluate; (3) Then press the F9 key. This will evaluate only the part you have highlighted and show the result. 4) When you are done, press ESC to restore the original formula. If you accidentally press ENTER, you can restore the formula by clicking Undo on the Quick Access Toolbar (or press CTRL+Z). 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 5 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
A Keyboard Shortcut for AutoSum Everyone uses Excel's AutoSum (Σ) command for quickly summing data. But did you know there is a keyboard shortcut that few Excel users know about that performs the same AutoSum function? Use this shortcut anytime you already have your hands on the keyboard and want to avoid reaching for the mouse. Simply press the Alt key and the equal sign (Alt + =) 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 6 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Go Home Fast Jump from anywhere in your worksheet back to cell A1 instantly by pressing the CTRL and HOME keys. If you have Freeze Panes applied (see Tip#10), pressing CTRL+HOME will move the active cell to the top left corner of the active pane. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 7 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
The Fastest Way to Move Rows To move a row (or multiple rows) and insert it (them) between two other rows... (1) Click the row headings (i.e. 1,2,3,etc...) to select the row(s) you want to move; (2) Hold down the SHIFT key; (3) Point to the edge of the rows you have selected. Your mouse pointer will change to a 4-headed arrow; (4) Press and hold your left mouse button to drag and position the 'insertion bar' where you want to move and insert the row(s); (5) Then release the mouse button. Alternatively use: right-click, Cut, right-click, Insert Cut Rows. NOTE: You can use this same technique to move a range of cells. Select the cells, hold down the Shift key and drag and release when the insertion bar is where you want to move/insert them. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 8 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
The Fastest Way to Move Columns To move a column (or multiple columns) and insert it (them) between two other columns... (1) Click the column headings (i.e. A,B,C,etc...) to select the columns(s) you want to move; (2) Hold down the SHIFT key; (3) Point to the edge of the columns you have selected. Your mouse pointer will change to a 4-headed arrow; (4) Press and hold your left mouse button to drag and position the 'insertion bar' where you want to move and insert the row(s); (5) Then release the mouse button. Alternatively use: right-click, Cut, right-click, Insert Cut Columns. NOTE: You can use this same technique to move a range of cells. Select the cells, hold down the Shift key and drag and release when the insertion bar is where you want to move/insert them. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 9 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Keep Specific Rows or Columns Visible as You Scroll Around When you scroll down your worksheet, the rows at the top of your report scroll out of view. When you scroll across, the columns on the left of your report scroll off the page. If you want to keep specific columns or rows from moving as you scroll around your worksheet, here's what to do... 1 a) To freeze rows at the top of your worksheet, click the row heading (i.e. 1,2,3, etc...) immediately below the rows you want to freeze. For example, to keep rows 1 to 3 from scrolling off the screen, click on row 4 heading. b) To freeze columns on the left of your worksheet, click the column heading (i.e. A,B,C, etc...) immediately to the right of the columns you want to freeze. For example, to keep columns A, B and C from scrolling off the screen, click on column C heading. c) To freeze both columns and rows, click the cell in your worksheet that is immediately to the right of the columns and immediately below the rows you want to freeze. For example, to freeze columns A and B and rows 1 to 3, you will need to click in cell C4. 2) Then from the View tab click Freeze Panes>, Freeze Panes. To 'unfreeze' your column headings, from the View tab click Freeze Panes>, Unfreeze Panes. An 'ALT Key Tips Shortcut' for Freeze Panes is: Press ALT, W, F, F (in sequence). 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 10 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Quickly Switch Columns to Rows or Rows to Columns Switching a range of cells so that the rows become the columns and the columns become the rows, is much easier than you may think. It can't be done in place, so you will need to copy it to another location away from the original range. If you want, you can then delete the original range and move the transposed range back. (1) Select the range; (2) Press CTRL+C to Copy (or right-click, Copy); (3) Select a destination cell outside of the original range. This cell will become the top, left corner of the new range; (4) Right-click, Paste Special,Transpose, OK or click the Transpose button in the Paste Options menu. Note that if the range contains formulas that reference cells outside the range you are copying, unless they have Absolute Referencing (i.e. $ on both Row and Column...e.g. $H$15), the formulas will get messed up. To avoid this, for each formula, select the cell reference in the Formula Bar and press the F4 key until there are $ on both the row and column reference. An 'ALT Key Tips Shortcut' for Paste Special, Transpose is : ALT, E, S, E, Enter (press each key in sequence). 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 11 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Fastest Way to Move or Copy Worksheet Tabs Moving and copying your sheet tabs is fast and easy. To Move a sheet tab, left click and drag it. A small black triangle will appear between the two tabs where it will be moved. Release the mouse button to complete the move. To Copy a sheet tab, hold down the CTRL key, press the left mouse key and and drag it. A plus sign (+) will appear in the sheet icon and a small black triangle will appear between the two tabs where it will be copied. Release the mouse button to complete the move. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 12 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Remove All Borders To quickly remove all of the borders from a range of cells without affecting other formatting in the cells... Press CTRL+SHIFT+_ (underscore) 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 13 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Combine First and Last Names in a Single Column If you have a list of first names in one column and last names in the next column, you can easily combine these into 'FirstName LastName' or 'LastName, FirstName' in a single column. Assuming the names are currently in cells B3 and C3, enter the following formula in cell D3 to combine the names in 'Firstname Lastname' format. =B3 & " " & C3 (that's a single space between the quote marks) If you prefer a 'Lastname, Firstname' format, use this formula in cell D3... =C3 & ", " & B3 (that's a comma and single space between the quote marks) Once you have the names combined into one column, right-click and choose Copy, then right click again and click Paste Special..., Values, OK. You can then delete the columns B and C if you want. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 14 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Easily Convert a Shape to a Different Shape If you need to convert an existing Shape (Insert, Shapes) such as a rectangle to a different shape, such as an arrow, here's an easy way to do it without having to start from scratch and repeat all of the formatting steps. 1) Select the Shape you wish to convert; 2) On the Drawing Tools...Format tab, point to Edit Shape... (in the Insert Shapes group); 3) Then point to Change Shape and select another type of shape. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 15 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
A Fast Convert Formulas to Values Trick Very few Excel users are aware of this super-quick trick for converting formulas to values. 1) Select the cells containing formulas (they must be one contiguous range); 2) Point to the edge of the selected range until the mouse pointer changes to a 4-headed arrow; 3) Press and hold the right mouse button and drag the cells to the next column, BUT DON'T RELEASE THE MOUSE BUTTON YET. Keeping the right mouse button pressed, drag back to the original location and release the mouse button. 4) Choose the 'Copy Here as Values Only' option from the menu that pops up. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 16 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Alternate Displaying Cell Formulas and Cell Values Formula errors in workbooks are all too common and are often difficult to detect. An error in one or more formulas can lead to serious consequences. Good workbooks should have controls built in to detect calculation errors but another relatively-easy method that may help you spot formula erorrs is displaying your worksheet's FORMULAS instead of the calculated VALUES. Due to the way formulas are created using relative cell references, it is fairly easy to spot inconsistent formulas which may indicate a calculation problem. On the Ribbon, click the Show Formulas command on the Formulas tab in the Formula Auditing group. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+` (grave accent, above Tab key on most North American keyboards) to quickly toggle between showing a worksheet's formulas and its values. If you need to do this frequently, consider adding the 'Show Formulas' command to your Quick Access Toolbar. Right click the 'Show Formulas' command and choose 'Add to Quick Access Toolbar'. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 17 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Keyboard Shortcut to Open a New Workbook Most Excel users open a new workbook by clicking through the File, New, Blank Workbook commands. It's only 3 clicks. But why make 3 clicks when you can simply press CTRL+N instead. At times when you are using your mouse, rather than using a keyboard shortcut, having the New workbook command one click away on your Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) is a great option. To add the New workbook command to your QAT, click the small dropdown arrow on the right end of the QAT and select New from the Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 18 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Keyboard Shortcut to Quickly Save Changes You really should be frequently saving changes to your workbook to avoid losing your work. Most Excel users save changes to their workbook by clicking File, Save. It's only 2 clicks. But why make 2 clicks when you can simply press CTRL+S instead. At times when you are using your mouse, instead of using a keyboard shortcut, having the Save command one click away on your Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) is a great option. To add the Save command to your QAT, click the small dropdown arrow on the right end of the QAT and select Save from the Customize Quick Access Toolbar menu. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 19 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Enter Date Stamps and Time Stamps It's easy to enter a datestamp or timestamp or both in your worksheet. 1) To enter the current date, press CTRL+; (semicolon) then press ENTER. 2) To enter the current time press CTRL+SHIFT+; (semicolon) then press ENTER. 3) To enter the current date and time... - Press CTRL+; - Press the space bar once - Press CTRL+SHIFT+; - Press ENTER 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 20 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Link to a Website From Your Worksheet If there is a website that you need to access that is relevant to your workbook, you can create a oneclick link hyperlink right in that workbook. Create a Cell Hyperlink Simply type a website address right into a cell and press Enter... (the hyperlink will be created automatically). After you've created the hyperlink, you can replace the website address in the cell to some other text you want to display in the cell. The hyperlink will be retained. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+K to open the Insert Hyperlink dialog. Enter the website address (beginning with http://www. or just www.) in the Address field, type some 'Text to display' in the cell instead of the website address and click OK. Add a Hyperlink to Any Object 1) Right-click a cell containing some text, a button, shape or picture choose Hyperlink...; 2) Choose the Existing File or Web Page option in the 'Link to:' section; 3) In the Address field, type the website address (beginning with http://www. or just www.) and click OK. 'Excel in Seconds' Volume 1 -- 21 -- Francis Hayes TheExcelAddict.com
Resize and Align Shapes or Objects With Cell Borders To draw Shapes or Objects so they fit within the borders of a cell or range of cells, hold down the ALT key while dragging the edge of the object.

Click and drag in the direction you want to resize the object. Holding down the ALT key while dragging, will 'snap' and resize the object with the cell borders.

How to Use Different Font Formats in the Same Cell We all know how to format text in cells using an almost endless combination of characteristics such as font, font size, color, bold, italics, etc... But did you know that you can apply different font formatting to different parts of text within the same cell. This is something that I am asked about regularly and invariably the response is "I have been using Excel for # years and I didn't know you could do that." So just in case you are one of the majority of Excel users who has never done this before, here's how you can apply different formatting to different parts of the same cell: NOTE THAT THIS APPLIES TO FONT FORMATTING OF TEXT CELLS ONLY. NOT NUMERIC DATA. NOT FORMULAS. 1) You can either double click to edit right in a cell or first select the cell then click in the Formula Bar to edit up there; 2) Drag to highlight the portion of text within the cell that you want to apply the formatting to; 3) Apply the formatting as you normally do. Don't press Enter yet! 4) Select and apply formatting to other parts of the text; 5) When you're done just press Enter. So simple. Now, go impress your colleagues.

Easily Remove Leading Apostrophes Sometimes when you import data into Excel from some other source, you may find that some of the values (either text or numbers) contain leading apostrophes such as product codes, postal codes, etc... These apostrophes can cause issues if you need to reference those cells with various functions such as VLOOKUP. You might think that a simple Find and Replace of the apostrophe (') will do the trick, but unfortunately, that doesn't work. If Excel's background error checking option hasn't been turned off, these cells will be flagged with small green triangles in to indicate possible errors. When you select one or more of these cells, a small error dropdown menu will appear to the left of the selected cells with several options, one of which is 'Convert to Number'. However, sometimes your cells may contain numbers with leading zeros that you don't want converted numbers, such as account numbers, product numbers, etc... The quickest way of removing the leading apostrophes from a large number of cells and maintaining the leading zeros is by using the Format Painter (Home tab, Clipboard group). Select a cell without an apostrophe (e.g. a blank cell), click the Format Painter command on the Ribbon, then drag over the cells containing the apostrophes to paste the format.

Easily Copy Print Settings to Another Worksheet When you hold down the CTRL key and drag a worksheet tab, an exact copy of the sheet is made, including its print settings. However, if you want to copy the Print Settings from one worksheet to another worksheet, there doesn't appear to be any option for doing this. But WAIT. There is! In fact, there is a VERY SIMPLE, VERY FAST and REALLY EASY way to do this. And you are about to become one of the small percentage of all Excel users who know this trick. Here's what you do... 1) First, select the sheet tab containing the settings you want to copy; 2) Hold down the CTRL key, then click each sheet tab you want to copy the print settings to; 3) From the Page Layout tab, click the Print Titles command. The Page Setup dialog will open; 4) Then simply click OK (or press ENTER). 4) One last VERY IMPORTANT step: Right click any sheet tab and select Ungroup Sheets. If you don't do this, you could really mess things up because, when sheets tabs are grouped, everything you do in one sheet will be repeated in all other sheets.
