Using F4 to toggle anchoring cell references. For example:
Formula "=A1?
Select the formula in the Formula Bar
Press F4 > formula changes to =$A$1
Press F4 again > formula changes to =A$1
Press F4 again > formula changes to =$A1
Press F4 again > formula reverts to =A1

Saves tedious typing in $

Hi all

I want to say a huge thanks to Dick (hi Dick – we shared a taxi from the airport in Seattle) and all the contributors here. I did ’100 Excel tips in an hour’ at the CPA here in Adelaide last night and I couldn’t have done it without all of you . If anybody would like a copy of the handout, drop me an e-mail – lucy AT aneasiertomorrow DOT com DOT au

Off the top oif my head (the best place for useful tip to live).

Naming long formulas.
Using advanced filter to de-dupe a list.
Using SUMPRODUCT instead of arrays.

Data Validation by list (and the fact that if you name the range containing the list you can store it on another worksheet).

Hope you enjoyed Oz, parent are going in next couple of weeks and more family is emigrating soon. Is it really that bad in the U.K.?

To get to navigable list of all worksheets Right Click on "VCR Controls" in the lower left corner of Excel. (These "VCR Controls" are the ones to navigate from worsheet to worksheet.)

Also, CTL+Page Up or Page Down to move between worksheets.

Ctrl + .

It moves the active cell of a range, clockwise to the next corner. I use it to easily change the selection dimensions in every direction.
