F4 on Mac won't work for Absolute Reference

[suzee]

Hello!!

Im new so please be patient

I've just started an Accounts course and have to use Excel. We are being taught on PC's at college but at home and in the office we use Macs.

My first, probably of many questions, is f4 on Mac doesn't put the absolute function on. Is there another shortcut key I can use. hold something as I press something else type thing.

Any help greatfully appreciated.

yes-same key

Thought so ... just wanted to demonstrate my acquired knowledge of Mac Excel ... TGfG

personally I think it's great they decided to go with totally different key combos to the windows version-really keeps you on your toes when switching between the two

Never touched a Mac ... well, other than when my son shows his off, or in the Apple shop.

I love mine as long as I'm not trying to work-then it's either boot camp or vm of some kind so I can use real excel

A very happy Suzee xx
