Changing case of text in a cell

Excel 2007 and 2010 versions allow easy shortcut keys to change the case of the text in any given cell.

Proper case (1st letter of every word in upper case) - shift + ctrl + p
Upper case (all characters in upper case) - shift + ctrl + u
Lower case (all characters in lower case) - shift + ctrl + l

Isn't it handy??

Keyboard Shortcut to add/delete rows or columns in Excel

Image
" Ctrl + + " (add rows or columns) and " Ctrl + - " (delete rows or columns) are the easy shortcuts one may remember while adding and deleting rows/columns in Microsoft Excel. Adding rows or columns: If you wish to add rows above the current cell... just press "shift + spacebar" (discussed in my earlier post) to select the current row and then press "Ctrl + +". It will insert a row over the current row. Press "Ctrl + +" repeatedly to insert as many rows. Similarly, "ctrl + spacebar" and then "Ctrl + +" adds a column before the current column. You may try pressing "Ctrl + +" without selecting a row or a column. In such a case, you may get a pop-up (as shown in the image) where you can choose an option of adding a row or a column. Deleting rows or columns: "shift + spacebar" followed by "Ctrl + -" deletes the selected row & "ctrl + spacebar" followed by "Ct

Shortcut to Copy the contents of the cell above or on the left

Image
Most of us may have not tried this. We are very much familiar with the world-famous "Ctrl + C" and "Ctrl + V" but have you tried " Ctrl + D " and " Ctrl + R " in excel?? " Ctrl + D " offers the flexibility of copying the content of the cell above to the next cell or a range of cell below. Here you just need to use one action instead of the regular copy and paste. For example:  If you have A1 with some content and you wish to copy the same content to A2, just go to A2 and press "Ctrl + D". The content of A1 gets copied to A2 in one just one command. If you wish to copy the contents of A1 to a range of cells below A1 (say A2 to A10), select A1 to A10 (as shown in the image on the right) and press "Ctrl + D"... then see the magic!! " Ctrl + R " also offers a similar functionality. Using this you can copy the contents to the right cells i.e. if you wish to copy the contents of A1 to B1. The proc

Alternative for SUMIF and SUMIFS

Image
Ever wondered while using "SUMIF" function, the sum range cannot be more than one column!!  This indeed is a big drawback while using a large data set where you need to sum matching certain conditions. I often end up using multiple sumif with "+" which makes the formula very long. So was thinking of some alternative that can make life easier. Thanks to the search engines these days, I did come across a workaround. Refer to the above image: In the above example, I have a table with 4 columns where H1 and H2 are identifiers. H3 and H4 is the data which needs to be summed up. Condition 1 (alternative for SUMIF): I need to sum values of H3 and H4 where the identifier H2 is "Y". The formula will be =SUM(IF(B2:B5=B9,C2:D5)) followed by Ctrl + Shift + Enter which will make it a array formula. The final formula will look like this:  {=SUM(IF(B2:B5=B9,C2:D5))} Condition 2  (alternative for SUMIFS) : I need to sum values of H3 and H4 where the
