Find things fast

This is good for large sheets. 

If you need to locate a certain cell you press "CTRL+F" on the keyboard (at the same time) to locate it a lot faster.  

And a box like this should appear where you can type in your word and it will show the cell that you want. 


Add and delete rows/columns 

To be able to do this you can press "CTRL Shift and +" at once and a small table will appear showing you options. 

Shift is the arrow button under the Caps lock on the keyboard. 

The table should look like this 


Adding a table

If you need to add a table pressing "CTRL+T" will add on automatically once you have entered which cell you want it to start from. 

In this example I wanted to start the table from the cell A5. 


To undo something 

If you mess something up pressing "CTRL+Z" on the keyboard is the fastest way to do something. 



Auto sum 

If you want a sum formula for with typing it press "ALT+=" this will automatically do the sum. 



Remove duplicates 


If you want a speedy way to remove duplicates then pressing "ALT+A+M" at the same time will instantly clean this up.
