I came across this symbol (~) the TILDE I think its called and I dont know it's purpose in the world of excel. Anyone?

RE: Excel

Hi Tom,

Thank you for your question. If you want to find or replace an asterisk (*), a question mark (?) or even a tilde (~) that is typed into any cell, you can type ~* or ~? or ~~ in the Find box of the Find tool. This will take you to the next cell where any of these symbols are found.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Marius Barnard

Excel tip:

Keyboard Shortcuts to Add Rows or Columns

Couple of other keyboard shortcuts. Shift+spacebar selects a row, Ctrl+spacebar selects a column. Select either row or column (or several) and use Ctrl and + to insert or Ctrl and - to delete rows or columns.
