I. Basic methods

1. Quickly select all worksheets.

Right-click the worksheet tab below the work window and select Select All Worksheets from the pop-up menu ().

2. Quickly start Excel

If you want to run Excel automatically in the startup system, you can do this: 1. Double-click the "My Computer" icon to enter the Windows directory and open the "Start Menu \ Programs \ Startup" folder in turn; 2. Open the folder where Excel is located, and drag the Excel icon to the "Start" folder with the mouse. At this time, the shortcut of Excel will be copied to the "Startup" folder, so you can quickly start Excel the next time you start Windows. If you start the Windows system, you can quickly start Excel in the following ways: Method 1: Click any Excel workbook in the Start → Document command. Method 2: Drag the Excel application from "My Computer" to the desktop with the mouse, and then select "Create Shortcut in Current Location" from the shortcut menu. When starting later, just double-click the shortcut.

3. Quickly delete the data in the selected area.

If you drag the fill handle of the selected cell area up or left (reversely) with the right mouse button, and release the right mouse button without dragging it out of the selected area, some or all data of the selected area will be deleted (that is, the cell area that becomes gray during dragging will be deleted after releasing the right mouse button).

Step 4 Rename the cell

Excel gives each cell a default name, and its naming rule is to add horizontal labels to column labels. For example, D3 represents cells in the fourth column and the third row. If you want to rename a cell, you can use the following two methods: 1. As long as you click a cell with the mouse, you will see its current name in the upper left corner of the table, then use the mouse to select the name and enter a new name. 2. Select the cell to be named, click Insert → Name → Define to display the Define Name dialog box, enter a name in the Name in Current Workbook box, and click OK (). Note: When naming a cell, it should be noted that the first character of the name must be a letter or a Chinese character. It can contain up to 255 characters, including uppercase and lowercase characters, but the name cannot contain spaces or be the same as the cell reference.

5. Select the entire cell range in Excel.

In Excel, if you want to quickly select the entire cell range you are working on, press "Ctrl+Shift+ *". Note: This command will select the entire column and column headings instead of the blank cells around the list-you will get the cells you need. This method is different from the Select All command, which selects all the cells in the worksheet, including the cells you don't intend to use.

After releasing the mouse button to complete the operation, the order between cells will change.

8. Clear the cell contents completely

If you click the button at the intersection of row number and column label in the upper left corner, you can select the whole worksheet.

Then click the selected cell, click Format → Cell to open the cell format window, select the alignment tab, select vertical alignment at the top, select the word wrap check box under the text control (), then select the border tab, and press the outer border button to connect the header outline. Now, double-click the first cell to enter the editing state, and enter words, such as "Project" and "Month". Then, put the cursor in front of the word "item" and press the space bar continuously to move these four words backward (because we have set the text control to "word wrap" in the cell properties, when the word "month" exceeds the cell, it will automatically switch to the next line). Now click anywhere in the table to exit the first cell, and a beautiful diagonal title is finished.

Excel provides Tab keys, semicolons, commas and spaces for you to choose from. Please note that several separator options here should be single. You can see the effect of vertical bar separation in Preview Column Effect. Click "Next"; 4. In the "Text Guide-Step 3, Step 3" dialog box, you can set the type of data, which generally does not need to be changed, and Excel will automatically set it to "normal" format.

49. Fast line feed

When we use Excel to make tables, we often encounter the situation that we need to enter one or several lines of text in a cell. If we enter a line and press Enter, it will move to the next cell instead of wrapping. There is a simple and practical operation method to realize line break: after entering the first line in the selected cell, press Alt+ ENTER at the line break to enter the second line, then press Alt+ ENTER to enter the third line, and so on.

50. skillfully convert text into numbers

It is found that some data imported into Excel through text files or other financial software actually exist in the form of text (numbers are aligned to the right by default and text is aligned to the left), even if the cell format is reformatted into numbers, it will not help. There is a way to quickly convert these files back to numbers: fill in the blank cell with the number 1, then select this cell, execute the copy command, then select the range to be converted, and select Multiply in Paste Special, and you will find that they all become numbers.
