Tom’s Tutorials For Excel: Shortcutting a Cell for PasteSpecial to Values
Here’s a quick way to use your keyboard for achieving the effect of copying a cell, and pasting it special for values.
Instead of mouse clicks and menus that are commonly used, it only takes 3 easy steps:
Step 1: F2
| Step 2: F9
| Step 3: Enter
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
I do not know if its a keyboard thing, but this tip does not seem to work here! Would love to see it work given its popular usage.
Where is here? Maybe you are in a country where keyboard shortcuts do not do the same things they do in other countries, which is not uncommon. I know the process works here in the US, so I’d be very interested to know where you are, and maybe we can figure out a shortcut that achieves the same result.
Hello,
What about ctrl+alt+V option for paste special.
What is the shorcut for formulas and values?
I am from India actually. And that is how I do use paste special functions. The key combination opens the paste special dialog box. But i don’t exactly remember the fourth key in sequence.
For example: Ctrl+Alt+V; W pastes the data with same column width.
Hello, I have found the shortcut for paste special function. Please have a look.
Ctrl+Alt+V opens the PASTE SPECIAL dialog box.
Now…For pasting values press V and then Enter.
Please let me know if you find it a valid shortcut. I will provide you the whole list.
