Ribbons and shortcuts

Excel 2007 brought a new work environment based on ribbons. This novelty was annoyed by many experienced users (who were able to set shortcuts to the most commonly used options) and delighted new users (who saw some options they did not even suspect that existed). In order to “calm down passions,” Office programmers first added the Quick Access Toolbar and the ability to adjust the toolbar content (Office 2010).

Row/column shortcuts

When working with tables, there is often a need to manipulate rows and columns, and it is adding, deleting, hiding, or displaying hidden rows or columns. Manipulation is usually done by selecting some of the options from the Home toolbar, but there are several shortcuts that can help us perform these operations much faster.

Charts, in a blink of an eye

The picture says more than 1000 words! Charts are an indispensable part of Excel reports with the goal of graphically displaying data and highlighting business trends. Recently, Excel knows that and, based on the given data, it proposes several types of reports that reflects them in the best way. Also, a user in the All Charts group can see all the offered report types and some of them use to create a new or modify an existing chart.
