Thanks for all the ideas so far, have found a few new ones. What I would like to know is if there is a way to repeat a formula in many sheets ( Jan to Dec) that adds the previous month to the current month giving you a year to date figure. I can go in and do one in each sheet separately , but was hoping that after I select all sheets Jan …hold shift key… Dec , and add a formula that would do this on all sheets at once.

@dan + #9: F4 does switch absolute/relative refs in Excel2007. It only works in the cell, while editing the contents (hit F2! I love that! Thanks!). If you just select a cell, F4 does bupkis (or repeats your last action).

–Start typing a formula — “=sum(a2″. when you finish typing the cell reference, hit F4. You should see A2 cycle through the various $ combos. You can do this one cell ref at a time.

–Or, if you have a range — “=sum(a2:g8)” — you can select the range, hit F4, and cycle the whole shebang.

–Oh! and I just tested this on a formula: if you select an entire forumla and hit F4, you’ll switch every cell reference at once! I love the keyboard!

There used to be a way to put a return in a cell of Excel – does any one remember the key strokes?
Thanks

Ever any answer to post #9

toggle absolute cell reference f4 key doesnt seem to work in excel 2007.
Is there another shortcut short of having to instal $ into every position needed in the formula string?

One of my favorites keystroke combinations when working with formulas is the CTRL + ~ combination. It allows you to see all formulas inside your Excel worksheet. Type in the same keystrokes to undo the command.

we can copy text/values from a cell to the immediate below cell using Ctrl+D keystroke.
