[@samsmythsenior811]

Hands down, this is the Excel tips video with the most and greatest tips in the short period of time. Nicely done!

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks for the feedback, Sam! 😀

[@samsmythsenior811]

@@ExcelCampus Thanks to you for producing such informative quality.

[@todds9839]

A 25+ year Excel user learned more than 30% of those features today. 🙂 Thanks!

[@ExcelCampus]

You're welcome! 😀

[@barttitulaerexcelbart9400]

Lock the drawing tool, and the selection : great tips!!

[@rjbjajjjmj1]

Agreed; that was the one that had me saying, "I wish I'd known that before!"

[@tomwelt1825]

Jon, I've been using Excel for decades, but I never realized you could double-click on the Format Painter to repeat use. What an awesome revelation. That example was my favorite. Keep up the great videos!

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks, Tom! 😀

[@BeugsTheLegend]

My favorite was double clicking to hide the ribbon. I didn’t know that one and it will help tremendously.

[@TrevB_Wakefield]

Though I've used Excel for many years, first at work and now at home, I've learnt several useful tips here. My favourite is double-clicking the Format Painter to lock it, rather than having to keep clicking on it to reformat several other cells on different parts of the worksheet. It certainly saves time! 😃👍

[@seandudley9279]

Just like a previous comment, I have used Excel for years but not seen most of these shortcuts. Thank you

[@ExcelCampus]

You are welcome! 😀

[@JHatLpool]

All tips are good and very useful. I like the tips at 00:20 and 00:35 (workbooks containing multiple sheets, moving between these sheets etc.).

[@samogoro5361]

Thanks for sharing these great tips. It will take away my stress and make my work smarter

[@dividendtimes]

'Name Box Range Selection' - I have a worksheet that I was scrolling several thousands of rows using page down on a regular basis. This takes me right to my target point. I knew Excel had a work around and you just showed me. Thanks.

[@RobertAfrick]

Just when I thought I knew EVERYTHING about Excel…your Excel video shows up in my mailbox. As always, Jon, thanks for another fabulous set of tips so well put together. There’s nobody like you! Please keep them coming!

[@charlesnazare7358]

I loved the double clicking on the format painter! Thanks Jon!

[@waynethompson5098]

Outstanding tips. Love the right-click on sheet arrows to obtain a list of sheet names for easy navigation.

[@marlenemccullough1567]

I knew several of these short cuts which are super helpful; the F2 button for entering/editing a cell was new to me and will have to try that one. The other one was the fill handle, I have known about putting cursor in the bottom right corner and dragging but double clicking to auto fill/update the cells is very helpful. I will be forwarding this to staff in the office so they can learn new tricks as well, if they don't already know. I believe half the staff I have forwarded emails from you to them and they may already be on your email list. I really like the tips and tricks - although some of the more advanced tips are over my head - but at least the accounting staff can find them useful. Thank you Jon for all the great information.

[@jimeads3460]

I didn’t know you could lock the Format Painter. I will use that a lot. Great tips!

[@terrywilliamson2067]

I didn’t know about “Fit to selection” to automatically zoom in on the cells you have highlighted - handy!

[@joukenienhuis6888]

Wow, great tips! I only am very bad in remembering, so I will have to review these tips again and again. But I loved the lock mode and the zooming selection

[@alexanderbenson1602]

My favorite was either the select range option, or the double click to keep the formatting painter on

[@mohemmedansari8664]

Likes the format locking. Didnot know of it.

[@HandelMcHandel]

The select shapes tip was excellent- also the format painter double click - I knew this before but had forgotton it

[@hagun6535]

The zoom out for named ranges is very helpful

[@PradeepKumarSingh]

I like select the object selection button and drawing lock option. Thank you sir for this knowledge sharing. 🙏

[@ExcelCampus]

You are welcome 😀

[@stephenl5693]

It's always great to keep the brain refreshed and constantly learning little features/shortcuts 👍, thanks for the video!

[@ajrawlings]

Did not know about the 'Lock Drawing Mode' - that will certainly help now! 🙂

[@soniccheese01]

Thanks Jon, love the Lock Drawing Mode

[@randyhaimila6476]

As always, great job John. I especially liked being able to add the sheet number to the status bar. 👍 Also, starting at 2:18, I like how we can select cells like that.

[@h.esther9400]

The tips about the status bar are cool seem really interesting but the best tip might be clicking to collapse the ribbon! 🎉

[@Malconceivance]

OMG i learned more in 8 minutes than the last 6 weeks i've spent in an Excel CLASS. Thank you. Favorite short cut here? Probably the Status bar trick for adding the sum etc. to a cell and/or adding options to the bar area.

[@judywilder7883]

Format painter lock mode was something I did not know! That will save some time for sure👏

[@HeddyB]

Amazing! Thank you so much!!

[@acreguy3156]

I only knew one of these. The rest are new! Thanks Jon!!!

[@ExcelCampus]

Welcome 😀

[@nboisen]

Locking the drawing tool was a new one for me and one that will come in handy

[@jamiereife5581]

The zoom was my favorite

[@sallyho146]

Thank you. F2 and arrow lock down are cool

[@rrki]

All tips are really helpful. Great video, thanks a lot

[@freezendog7]

Great video Jon, even for the more advanced user. I've learned some new tricks. That F2 edit / enter mode works a treat in the conditional formatting menu when you want to write a formula for the conditions. All the best!

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks! I’m happy to hear you learned something new. 😊

[@kapibara2440]

Good video, thank you 🎉

[@keeney413]

your content is so freaking helpful

[@tammymhein]

Great tips. The steps moved fast but very helpful.

[@ExcelCampus]

Glad it was helpful! 😀

[@birgerkagan6087]

What a fantastic amount of great tips both here and in other videos from other Excel experts - I wish I could remember more of them

[@user-dn5gd1rn9f]

Thank you very much! The select objects tip is my favorite- did not know that one!

[@pionytudr]

Some pretty nice tips there. Thanks!

[@ExcelCampus]

Welcome! 😀

[@2bczar4u]

Hard to pick. I just plain love shortcuts. Collapsing the ribbon and using the Quick Access toolbar (for any 365 products) is the way I work.

[@josealvesferreira1683]

You are very, very good, I think this tips are very usefull. Thanks

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks, Jose! 😀

[@notesfromleisa-land]

My favorite KZbin hack: For all of the Excel tips and tricks that you know you won't remember, create a saved list call Jon's Excel Hacks and save the video for your future reference. Favorite? Like picking a favorite child. (1) Lock the drawing tool. (Though I don't draw much). (2) Double clicking on the Toolbar to collapse and restore. My all time favorite tip from you is your running totals in tables. It is a feature I use a lot, and your method is both simple and effective. My personal tip for those who work with tables extensively: lot, adding the table totals icon to the QAT. Also the column filter toggle shortcut is something I use frequently. It is a godsend for eliminating any filters from a table quickly from large tables.

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks so much for sharing and for your support! I love the Jon's Excel Hacks idea!! We'll think about how we can create something around that idea in the future. For anyone wondering about the running totals in Tables, here's a link to that video. Running Totals In Excel Tables - The Efficient Way kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnjPc5moariYe6M Thanks again! 🙌

[@AMDSTT]

Thank you very much ❤

[@HsiuHsienMartin]

Great to know how to use Enter Mode and Edit Mode to update formula.

[@drsteele4749]

Very useful! Thanks, Jon. My tip - I like to put the QAT below the ribbon: the icons are clearer and coloured down there and you can fit many more of them.

[@notesfromleisa-land]

I'm so reliant on my QAT (below the ribbon as you note which is so helpful), that when I have to help another on Excel, I find that I'm swimming through peanut butter to get to the needful things. We develop so much muscle memory in using our Excel tools.

[@vinc.7765]

Very useful, Jon :D (davvero utile, Jon)

[@salahuddin502]

Thank you sir, such this useful tips.

Great video

[@joshuamanampiu6489]

For me also the lock the drawing tool was outstanding. I discovered it also works in word! Great tip

[@ExcelCampus]

[@JRT-z6r]

Drawing tools tips

[@josh_excel]

Good tips (new features?) I didn't know about.

[@anindyamukherjee7690]

My favorite _ format painter locking, toggle between edit mode and enter mode by pressing f2

[@learningwithmaliha]

Nice tips, I like the lock drawing mode tip!

[@neronjp9909]

thx so much, so helpful !

[@ExcelCampus]

Glad it helped! 😀

[@matiasbunsterraby2176]

Thank you Jon. I lked the zooming into a certain range.

[@nadermounir8228]

So many nice tips hard to choose which one is the most useful

[@tamirbahalker16]

Good job with this video, really enjoyed it. The thing i loved the most was working with the grid while he is hiding

[@ExcelCampus]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😀

[@EslamAbdo1919]

These are amazing tips. Thank you so much.

[@jhonjaramillo4649]

For the tip at the minutes 7:24 can be done with ctrl + f1

[@chuckpg31]

Locking format painter. Mind blown

[@Kausik_Upadhaya]

I liked the one with the status option and copy the results shown there and also locked for shapes

[@jackcurl2005]

Really like the double-click ribbon tabs to collapse and expand the ribbon.

[@andyrobertson4096]

Top tip... Don't have too many sheets per workbook!

[@rajeevgosavi4514]

Great video. Really useful tips in day to day working. Thanks John.

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks, Rajeev! 😀

[@Sandh76532]

Excellent trick, thanks Jon

[@mickeytee6533]

double click the format tool... great!!! very useful.

[@nanasusie]

So many new tips. I like the right-click on sheet arrows to get the sheet list. I use an add-in to create an index page and usually use that, but this is quick. As always, great job!

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks for your feedback! 😀

[@patrickschardt7724]

The copy sheet shortcut is amazing

[@ashokp4536]

Thank you Jon for useful tips.

[@harshanaweragama270]

Thank you.. You are one channel that I follow, and have helped me when I really did need some tips.. I rely not only on the KZbin channel, but also a fan of your bog post

[@ExcelCampus]

Wow! Appreciate that 😀

[@sigmaschoolmodasa]

Cool and useful

[@Lightningstrikes884]

Awesome!

[@chrism9037]

Excellent video thanks Jon!

[@OlawaleMichael-qm4kf]

Great teacher. Thank you!

[@BouncewithLife_1]

Thanks a lot Jon for such videos.

[@ConstanceHanscomb]

Great tips! I will be saving this video for future reference. Thanks!

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks Constance! 🙂

[@samiabdullah5437]

I really enjoyed it. Please do something on linking cells and sheets like if I have a list of names, when ever I click on a name it takes me to his page or file.

[@ExcelCampus]

Thanks! One way to achieve that is with a table of contents sheet. This is just a sheet with a list of sheet names and links to each sheet. We can use a macro to create the sheet. Here are a few videos that explain the setup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn23oZtpZtyskLssi=K1Mf5-TSLveAEPbJ kzbin.infoD4eZZr9RqCg?si=VAr_TC6Eu_d4kGad There are other ways to do this, including linking to files instead of sheets. I'll add that to our list for future videos. Thanks!

[@sallyho146]

Can you make a video on a faster way to compare the 1st data set to 2nd data set and extract the difference added after the 1st data was pulled.

[@tarikajain3386]

Double click Format painter, selecting cells by typing cell number. Zoom to fit selection.

[@peterjones7673]

Fantastic tips Jon, I love tip one as I have several sheets with multiple workbooks and the quick look up will save me scrolling back and forth, thank you so much as all of these great tips will be so useful.

[@ExcelCampus]

Happy to hear this. Thanks Peter! 🙌

[@joukenienhuis6888]

Reminded me of a tip of automatically creating a menu

[@sledgehammer-productions]

Although I still don't like to use the mouse too much, a lot of the double click tips are worth incorporating. On a side note: I'm mousing left, so I'm used to translating 'right click' to 'left click' and vice versa. But better words would be "selection button" (my right) and "context button" (my left).

[@bbotzong]

Great tips!!! Thanks.

[@junogunbiyi7750]

Thank you so much!

[@VedantKhare-wi7gc]

Really helpful tricks

[@lpanades]

Loved all.

[@mmaimmortals]

CNTRL D to content above, including formats and formulas. ALT A T to apply filter. AlT W F F to apply freeze pane. CNTRL C to copy, then Right Click V yo paste value only. Very fast.

[@ahmedeid-bz8gd]

Amazing

[@user-vb1rn6ox8n]

Select Objects! Lock drawing mode!

[@agraharafamily5634]

Most of the features are known. However learn special feature with format paint double click. Thanks

[@bretthyder5602]

Great tips!

[@404ErrorPage]

The Format Painter was a surprise. Previously I was using conditional formatting with formula =MOD(ROW(),2)=0 to make alternate colored rows

[@mirrorreflection3479]

Part 2 please

[@donfilibeck8414]

Super useful.
