Keyboard shortcuts

[Greka]

Two questions. Does anyone know how to get into the formula bar to edit a formula without using the mouse. Is there a keyboard shortcut to enter the formula bar to start editing the contents? Second question. Does anyone know the Mac shortcut for the above?

press F2 to edit cell contents.

By default: CTRL-u

But in MacXL, you can assign your own keyboard shortcuts, so you can
make it nearly anything you want (Tools/Customize/Customize Keyboard...).

Hi Greka,

on PC's the keyboard shortcut is F2, the excel default is edit directly on
the cell, but you can change it on Tools | options | Edit and unchek the box

It's amazing. After spending half a day pressing all the possible key combinations (or so I thought) and reading through no end of help screens I got nowhere. But now it is sorted.

Thanks again

That is amazing

When I select help and "keyboard shortcuts" I get a list of all shortcut keys in
Excel.

Under "Edit Data" is the F2 key.
