Selecting cells

Hi guys,
the guy from our training taught us how to select cells in the table without higlighting the first one, how do you do it please?

RE: Selecting cells

Hello Hedvika,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel courses with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding selecting cells. There are many ways to select cells in Excel. To answer your question I know of two ways to select cells without having to actually click any of the cells which you need to select.

1) Click in the Name box (to the left of the Formula Bar) and type in the full range to be selected e.g. A1:E20 then press enter. This will select the range you have input.
2) Use the shortcut CTRL+G - then in the reference area at the bottom of the dialogue box enter the full range to be selected e.g. B12:D125 then click OK. Again therange you have input will be selected with this method.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney

Excel tip:

Multiple Lines of Text in a Cell

As an alternative to the Text Wrapping facility, type a word or two, press Alt+Enter to get a new line, type more text, and continue the process for as many lines as you need. Enter as normal when you have finished.

The line break is not affected by changing the column width, as text wrapping. To remove this you must edit the cell and remove the invisible character and replace with a normal space.
