In this tutorial, we review the three fundamental areas necessary for learning to use Excel without a mouse:
1. Mouse-free Excel navigation
2. Excel keyboard shortcuts
3. Navigating menus
The reason people learn keyboard shortcuts is because it can increase your speed in Microsoft Excel dramatically. In fact, new investment banking analysts often have their mouse taken away just to learn this skill. It is really important!
If you can learn how to use Excel without a mouse, you can expect to increase your speed 3-5X.
One important thing to note is that I'm using a Windows version of Excel 2016. The Mac version has different shortcuts, and is generally not used in business. So it makes more sense to learn the Windows shortcuts.
This lecture will give you a great foundation for learning Excel without a mouse. If you can navigate across spreadsheets, use quick shortcuts, and navigate through the menus without a mouse (we cover all three skills in the video) - then you have all the skills you need. It just takes practice after that.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial and let me know if you'd like more videos on this subject!

After completing the course, students will be able to:
-Competently use all important Excel keyboard shortcuts
-Navigate all menus of Excel without using the mouse
-Confidently use all features of Excel without needing the mouse

Hey Homer - glad it was helpful for you. Cheers!

Thanks for the video! Alternatively for the chart shortcut, you can hit F11 when you’re on the data, no need to highlight, and you’ll get a recommended chart on a new sheet. OR hit alt+F1 for the same action on the same sheet.

Hi Eric, Thanks for taking out the time to create such a wonderful content. I had query regarding the sign representing the block of data "{" in the presentation. Could you please help me know which option to opt for ?

Shivam mishra - sure that's just a symbol on the insert tab! Does that help?

[@shivammartin]

[@MrKingman2012]

This video is very informative. Can you create a video for the Mac version of these shortcuts ?

[@eric_andrews]

Glad it was helpful! Unfortunately due to the apple vs windows battle there are very few shortcuts on the iOS operating system. Its extremely frustrating.

[@eric_andrews]

What was your favorite new shortcut you learned?
