When working with lists and reports, you sometimes have repetitive data which you want to enter again and again. While you have the excel autocomplete function but if you have similar tellers at the beginning of the data, the autocomplete wont function properly.

Excel Keyboard Shortcuts Basics

Excel keyboard shortcuts generally start with by pressing the “Alt” key. So, once you press the “Alt” key, you will see a shortcut or in fact an alphabet for each tab in the ribbon.

When you press the short key, the ribbon opens up and all the commands in the ribbon appear with the next level of short key.
