Quickly Selecting Cells in MS Excel
Quickly Selecting Cells in MS Excel
Submitted by Dennis Faas on Thu, 03/20/2008 - 08:00
Most of you already know that you can use your mouse to select a range of cells by depressing the left mouse button and holding it and dragging the mouse to make your selection.
How about if I told you an even quicker and easier method? I thought that would make you happy!
Follow the steps below to learn how:
- Select the cell that marks one corner of the range of cells you want to select.
- Move the mouse pointer so it points to the cell at the opposite diagonal corner of the range you want selected.
- Hold down the Shift key as you click the left mouse button and drag.
That's it! See how simple that is? What's that mantra again? Yes, Save Time and Keystrokes!
