Excel Basics Explained

Microsoft Excel is used virtually everywhere—from offices to schools to personal projects—so learning the basics can be incredibly helpful. In this quick tutorial, you’ll discover how to perform essential Excel tasks efficiently. We’ll cover how to move around, select data, enter information, and more.

💡 Note: We mostly use the keyboard shortcuts instead of using the mouse. Why?

a) It's much faster,
b) It’s easier than you think,
c) It makes you look like an Excel wizard. 🧙

Navigating & Selecting Data

• Move through the spreadsheet using the arrow keys: ↑ ↓ ← →

• Press Ctrl + Arrow Key (or ⌘ on Mac) to jump to the last non-empty cell in a row or column—perfect for large data sets.

• Hold Shift + Arrow Key to select one cell at a time.

• Combine Ctrl + Shift + Arrow Key to quickly select entire rows, columns, or tables. This is great for bulk actions.

Entering Data

• Just start typing to enter data in a cell.

• Press Enter to move down to the next cell, or Tab to move right.
  For example: Enter → Enter → Enter, then Tab → Tab → Tab.

• Mix Enter and Tab for rapid data entry.
  Example: Tab → Tab → Enter → Tab → Tab → Enter.
  (Notice how pressing Enter at the end of a row brings you back to the start of the next one.)

• To repeat values, use your mouse:

  • Select the cells

  • Hover over the bottom-right corner (the fill handle)

  • Drag downward to copy

• To delete data, simply press the Delete key. You can remove one or multiple cells at once.

Working with Formulas

• To create a formula, type =, select a cell using the arrow keys, type your operation (e.g., +), select another cell, and hit Enter.
  Example: =(B3*5)/C3 for basic calculations.

• Want to apply the same formula to multiple rows? Just drag the fill handle down—Excel will automatically adjust the references.

• To edit a cell’s content:

  • Double-click the cell to modify its contents (this also highlights the cells used in formulas).

  • Or, just select the cell and start typing to overwrite it entirely.

✅ Quick Recap

• Move around: ↑ ↓ ← →

• Move faster: Ctrl + Arrow (or ⌘ on Mac)

• Select cells: Shift + Arrow

• Select multiple fast: Ctrl + Shift + Arrow

• Enter data: Just type → use Enter & Tab to navigate

• Repeat data: Drag using the fill handle

• Delete: Press Delete

• Formulas: Type = → select cells → use math symbols → press Enter

• Edit cells: Double-click or type directly

And that’s it! 🎉

You now know more about Excel than the average user—congrats! Keep practicing, and soon these shortcuts will become second nature.
