I have been learning so many things in excel as I was involved in my internship in the very initial days of my Chartered Accountancy course and until now when I'm actually a Chartered Accountant. I'm so grateful and delightful to know all the brilliant smart things in excel from you and the best part is the Wow said by my colleagues when I use these new things in excel (not only shortcuts) which they got to know from me which I had learnt from you........Thanks for your support......Hope you will be teaching us more all the time..!!!

[@wayneedmondson1065]

Hi Chandoo.. very useful video. I use each of your examples on a daily basis. I would also consider CTRL-Z for undo and CTRL-Y for redo as essential. There are so many good ones. You could easily make the list longer.. which happens naturally.. the more you work with EXCEL. Thanks for the insights. Thumbs up!!

[@chandoo_]

Great suggestions. Thanks for the love :)

[@mailmeonshiv]

Thanks, Chandoo Sir, looks like CTRL +L also works for inserting or creating tables

[@binishthomas2675]

4:19 which is better, 'Ctrl Shift 8' or just 'Ctrl A'. I use 'Ctrl A' as its easy and I can always go for 'Ctrl AA' if want to select the whole sheet. genuinely asking Why is 'Ctrl Shift 8' is preferred? 🤔 what am I missing?

[@Kingx7565]

Love the way how you explain i know all the shortcuts except Ctrl + shift + 8

[@chandoo_]

Thanks Hasnain...

[@santoshmn]

Its nice explanation. Excel is just awesome and interesting to learn. Thanks to Mr. Chandu

Hi Chandoo. I believe the alt button (your last shortcut in this video) only works with Windows. Do you have a corresponding shortcut for Mac as well?

[@MuraliKrishnaChejerla20101984]

Good one

[@rautorama]

Also the good old Alt + =, to do a quick sum !

[@chandoo_]

Great addition :)

[@createthenew3062]

There was time I was scared of excel during my childhood days and thought will certainly do something in my career where excel is not used.And my father scolded me one time why I ignore excel and I felt shy since I was growing and took it is as a challenge for myself and today I rate myself above 7 out of 10. If 10 is maximum .Chandoo classes is an added advantage for me .I love my excel also because of these classes as they are easy to remember. One request while explaining formulas pls maximise the screen for us to see in detail though the explanation is good.
