The fastest Excel users have one thing in common They rarely use the mouse. Most all actions in Excel can be done with a keyboard shortcut. Here are some of my favorites:

CTRL + HOME — Go to Cell A1
CTRL + END — Goes to the last cell used.
CTRL+SHIFT + right arrow then down arrow — will select all contiguous cells
CTRL + A – Selects entire spreadsheet
F4 – Changes cell address to Absolute
CTRL + T – Converts data range to a table
CTRL + E — Flash Fill
CTRL + ; — Inserts the current date.
