Microsoft Excel:  Shortcuts

I get tired of typing. Especially when I have to type today's date in Excel about a hundred times a day. When I get lazy, I turn to shortcuts. Here are a couple I hope you find as useful as I do.

Insert Today's Date

1. When in a cell, press [Ctrl]+[;] (semicolon).

Copy the Cell Contents from Above

1. Place the cell selector in the cell below the contents you want to copy.
2. Press [Ctrl]+['] (apostrophe).

There are just two of my favorite time savers. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
