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:

Hiding Formulae in the Formula Bar

It is possible to protect the contents of a cell reference(s) from amendment by applying cell protection. The contents of the cell reference can also be stopped from displaying in the formula bar.

Step 1: Select Format > Cells > Protection.

Step 2: Tick Hidden option. Ensure Locked is ticked

Step 3: Select Tools > Protection > Protect Sheet

(Ensure "Protect worksheet and contents of locked cells" is ticked)
