Many users find that using an external keyboard with keyboard shortcuts for Excel helps them work more efficiently. For users with mobility or vision disabilities, keyboard shortcuts can be easier than using the touchscreen and are an essential alternative to using a mouse.

Notes:

The shortcuts in this topic refer to the US keyboard layout. Keys for other layouts might not correspond exactly to the keys on a US keyboard.
A plus sign (+) in a shortcut means that you need to press multiple keys at the same time.
A comma sign (,) in a shortcut means that you need to press multiple keys in order.

This article describes the keyboard shortcuts, function keys, and some other common shortcut keys in Excel for Windows.

Ribbon keyboard shortcuts

The ribbon groups related options on tabs. For example, on the Home tab, the Number group includes the Number Format option. Press the Alt key to display the ribbon shortcuts, called Key Tips, as letters in small images next to the tabs and options as shown in the image below.

You can combine the Key Tips letters with the Alt key to make shortcuts called Access Keys for the ribbon options. For example, press Alt+H to open the Home tab, and Alt+Q to move to the Tell me or Search field. Press Alt again to see KeyTips for the options for the selected tab.

Depending on the version of Microsoft 365 you are using, the Search text field at the top of the app window might be called Tell Me instead. Both offer a largely similar experience, but some options and search results can vary.

In Office 2013 and Office 2010, most of the old Alt key menu shortcuts still work, too. However, you need to know the full shortcut. For example, press Alt, and then press one of the old menu keys, for example, E (Edit), V (View), I (Insert), and so on. A notification pops up saying you’re using an access key from an earlier version of Microsoft 365. If you know the entire key sequence, go ahead, and use it. If you don’t know the sequence, press Esc and use Key Tips instead.

Use the Access keys for ribbon tabs

To go directly to a tab on the ribbon, press one of the following access keys. Additional tabs might appear depending on your selection in the worksheet.

To do this	Press
Move to the Tell me or Search field on the ribbon and type a search term for assistance or Help content.	Alt+Q, then enter the search term.
Open the File menu.	Alt+F
Open the Home tab and format text and numbers and use the Find tool.	Alt+H
Open the Insert tab and insert PivotTables, charts, add-ins, Sparklines, pictures, shapes, headers, or text boxes.	Alt+N
Open the Page Layout tab and work with themes, page setup, scale, and alignment.	Alt+P
Open the Formulas tab and insert, trace, and customize functions and calculations.	Alt+M
Open the Data tab and connect to, sort, filter, analyze, and work with data.	Alt+A

Use function key shortcuts

Excel for Mac uses the function keys for common commands, including Copy and Paste. For quick access to these shortcuts, you can change your Apple system preferences, so you don’t have to press the Fn key every time you use a function key shortcut.

Note: Changing system function key preferences affects how the function keys work for your Mac, not just Excel for Mac. After changing this setting, you can still perform the special features printed on a function key. Just press the Fn key. For example, to use the F12 key to change your volume, you would press Fn+F12.

If a function key doesn’t work as you expect it to, press the Fn key in addition to the function key. If you don’t want to press the Fn key each time, you can change your Apple system preferences. For instructions, go to Change function key preferences with the mouse.

Control keyboard shortcuts in Excel for the web by overriding browser keyboard shortcuts

Excel for the web works in a browser. Browsers have keyboard shortcuts, some of which conflict with shortcuts that work in Excel on the desktop. You can control these shortcuts, so they work the same in both versions of Excel by changing the Keyboard Shortcuts settings. Overriding browser shortcuts also enables you to open the Excel for the web Help by pressing F1.

Override browser shortcuts in Excel for the web dialog box.

In Excel for the web, select Help > Keyboard Shortcuts.

When you copy content from a webpage and paste it into Excel, not only the text and numbers are pasted, but also pictures. As often as not, you don’t want to keep these images for example website logos. They make your Excel file large, hide your data and make you worksheet look messy. Instead of deleting one by one, you can easily select all pictures at the same time. Let’s take a look at 5 different methods.

Method 1: Select all pictures manually

In many cases, the manual way might be the fastest (but most troublesome as well). Hold the Ctrl key and click on each image separately. This also works of you press and hold the Shift key and click on each picture.

Method 2: Select all images manually but using the selection pane

selection, pane, select, pictures, excel, images

Select all pictures in your Excel file with the selection pane.

Maybe a little bit more convenient but still manual: Using the selection pane.

Click on “Find & Selection” on the right hand side of the Home ribbon.
Click on “Selection Pane”
Now you can hold down the Ctrl key and click on each picture in the list.

The difference to method 1 is, that it’s more convenient to select from a list than scroll up and down your whole worksheet.

Method 3: The fast but inaccurate way (Go To Special)

go, to, special, select, all, pictures, select all picture, objects, excel

Select all pictures in Excel with Go To Special.

There is a shortcut to help select all images at the same time. With this method you can delete all images once, instead of deleting each picture separately.

Go to “Find & Select” in the Home ribbon
Click on “Go To Special”
Select “Objects”
Click “OK”

The disadvantage of this method: All objects, e.g. images, buttons, text boxes, are selected. Not only picture. If you don’t have any objects like buttons or charts on your worksheet just go ahead. Otherwise please use any of the other methods

Method 4: The more complicated but accurate way (VBA)

There is a short VBA code (don’t panic, just follow the steps below ;-):

Go to the worksheet with all the pictures you want to select.
Press Alt + F11 for opening the VBA editor.
Press Ctrl + G for opening the “Immediate”-Window.
Paste this code ActiveSheet.Pictures.Select and press Enter .

Method 5: The convenient way (Professor Excel Tools)

This is the most convenient way because you just need two clicks and have the most detailed options: Use our Excel add-in “Professor Excel Tools“.

Click on “Selection Tools”.
Then, click on “Select all objects” (all objects, including images, charts, etc. are selected).
Alternatively, only select all images by clicking on “Select all images” or charts by clicking on “Select all charts”.

That’s easy, isn’t it?

Professor Excel Tools also have a second option, if you want to delete all pictures from your complete Excel file:

Compress or delete all pictures in your file with Professor Excel Tools.

Click on the “Reduce File” button on the right hand side of the Professor Excel ribbon.
Set the ticks at “Reduce size of pictures” and/or “Delete all pictures”.
Set the scope: All worksheets, selection from the list above or just the currently active worksheet.
Click on “Start”.

You don’t have “Professor Excel Tools” yet? Try it for free – no sign-up, no installation needed (just activate it within Excel). Just download it with the button below.

This function is included in our Excel Add-In ‘Professor Excel Tools’

The Select All Shortcuts (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint)

In this article you’ll learn all of the different Select All shortcuts in Word, Excel and PowerPoint, and how to use Select All to quickly grab things like:

Objects (PowerPoint)
Text with similar formatting (Word)
Formulas (Excel)
Constants (Excel)
Comments (Excel)
And more!

This allows you to quickly grab EXACTLY what you need in each of the programs when you need it. This saves you from otherwise having to manually selecting everything yourself, one-by-one.

Select All shortcut (A Must Know)

Select All shortcut (PC Users): Ctrl + A

Select All shortcut (Mac Users) Cmd + A

That said there are a variety of different ways you can use the shortcut in Word, Excel and PowerPoint to finish your tasks faster and get you to Happy Hour (all discussed below).

How to best use the Select All command?

In short, this command is best used to quickly grab all the text, numbers, objects, formulas etc. that you want to quickly format or work with.

This allows you to quickly make changes to everything at once. For example:

Change the font style of all the text in a Word document
Grab all the formulas or constants in an Excel spreadsheet to change their font color
Grab all your PowerPoint objects on a slide to change their shape fill

Which makes sense, right?

Why bother doing things manually (one-by-one) when you can select all your objects at once.

And it’s this kind of know-how why one person leaves the office at a decent hour, while another wastes away at the office all night.

How to Select All in Word

You have 4 different types of selection options in Microsoft Word.

And if you are on a PC, you can additionally shortcut all of these using your Ribbon Guides (details below).

1. Select All (Ctrl + A)

Selects everything within your document so that you can make all the formatting edits that you want at the same time.

Clicking this command with your mouse is the same as hitting Ctrl + A on your keyboard (Cmd + A on a Mac).

2. Select Objects

Changes your mouse cursor into an arrow symbol that allows you to select an element (chart, picture, SmartArt graphic, etc.) as an object.

This is different than when you click things with your mouse. When you click with your mouse, you normally click into the object as if you are going to edit it.

The Select Objects command ensures that you select the object itself. That way you can cut and paste it, or move it around within your document.

3. Select Text with Similar Formatting

Selects all of the text within a Word document that matches the formatting of the text that you have already selected.

This is one of the coolest features in Microsoft Word that hardly anyone knows about. This command grabs all of the same formatted text within a document, so you can change it’s formatting all at once.

4. The Selection Pane in Word (Alt + F10)

Opens or closes the Selection Pane in Microsoft Word.

Inside the Selection Pane you can see (and quickly manipulate) all the objects in a Word document.

Similar to the Selection Pane in PowerPoint, it only only shows you the objects on the current page you are currently working on.

That means that if you have 100 charts in your Word document but only 1 chart on your current page, you will only see 1 chart in the Selection Pane.

Select All Shortcuts in Word (Ribbon Guides)

Instead of using your mouse to access the selection commands, on a PC you can use your Ribbon Guides.

To use these shortcuts, simply hit the Alt key on your keyboard. Hitting the Alt key, you will see alphabetical sequences to the commands across your Ribbon.

On a PC, your select all Ribbon Guide shortcuts are:

Select All: Alt, H, SL, A
Select Objects: Alt, H, SL, O
Select Text with Similar Formatting: Alt, H, SL, S
Selection Pane: Alt, H, SL, P

Note: When using your Ribbon Guide shortcuts in Word, you do not need to hold them down. Instead, simply hit and let go of them one at a time (following the letters forward).

To learn more about the Microsoft Office ribbon, see this guide by Microsoft here.

Select All in Excel

1. Select All (Ctrl + A)

It’s also important to note that the Select All command works a little bit differently in Excel.

Using the command once, first selects the block of cells that you are currently active in.

Using the command a second time, then selects everything within your spreadsheet.

See images above for hitting it once, then twice.

2. Select Formulas

Clicking Formulas will grab all the formulas in your current spreadsheet (pictured below).

This is a fast way and easy way to quickly identify and change the formatting of any formulas in your spreadsheet.

Clicking Comments automatically selects all of the comments in your spreadsheet (pictured below).

Comments show up in your spreadsheet as little markers in the upper-right hand corner of your cells. If you don’t want to waste time searching for them, simply use these command.

This allows you to quickly grab all the comments in your spreadsheet and format the cells.

4. Select Conditional Formatting

Clicking Conditional Formatting selects any cells within your spreadsheet that have conditional formatting in them.

This allows you to spot check or change the conditional formatting rules for those specific cells.

To learn more about conditional formatting rules, and how to use them, see this article by Microsoft here.

5. Select Constants

Selects all the constant values in your spreadsheet (i.e. values that are not formula-driven).

This is a fast and easy way to find all of the inputs that someone is using in their financial model or spreadsheet so that you can double-check their assumptions (pictured below).

6. Select Objects

Turns your cursor into an arrow that allows you to select objects that are within your spreadsheet (charts, pictures, SmartArt graphics etc.).

This is useful when you have a large spreadsheet or dashboard and you want to just select a single graphic without accidentally selecting the cells around it.

7. The Selection Pane in Excel (Alt + F10)

Opens the Selection Pane in Excel, showing you all of the charts, pictures, SmartArt graphics, etc., that are currently within your active spreadsheet.

Just keep in mind that the Selection Pane will only show you objects that are within the current sheet you are on. It will not show you objects that are on other sheets within your Excel file.

Select All Shortcuts in Excel (Ribbon Guides):

On top of using your mouse to activate the different Select commands in Excel, if you are on a PC, you can also use your Ribbon Guides to shortcut these commands (see key combinations below).

If you use any of these selection commands A LOT when working in Excel and are on a PC, I highly recommend learning these key combinations to save you time.

On a PC, your Ribbon Guide Shortcuts to these different commands are:

Formulas: Alt, H, FD, U
Comments: Alt, H, FD, M
Conditional Formatting: Alt, H, FD, C
Constants: Alt, H, FD, N
Data Validation: Alt, H, FD, V
Select Objects: Alt, H, FD, O
Selection Pane: Alt, H, FD, P

Note: When using your Ribbon Guide shortcuts, you do not need to hold down the keys to make them work. Instead, simply hit and let go of them one at a time.
