F11 revisited


Back in the dark ages I wrote a tip about how to quickly insert a chart in Excel. Thanks to a course participant who omitted one of the steps I asked the group to do, we found out - by accident - that it can be even quicker!

Here’s how:

1.       Click anywhere in the data that is to be turned into a chart.

2.       Press F11 .

So unless you want to present only part of your data in your worksheet as a chart, there is no need to first select the cells. With special thanks to Monica Sharma of AmeyCespa for the inspiration of this week’s tip!
