Excel Shortcut To Edit Cell Code Or R

Are you in a browser Reply Tayo Johnson says: June 24, 2019 at 4:17 am Use Fn Cmd T, there you are.

One example is if I wanted to lock a cell, say for example A1.

I would put the dollar sign () in from of both the column and row number as follows: A1.

This still works in the Mac world if I enter it manually, but in the Windows version of Excel, there was a keyboard shortcut (highlight A1 in the formula bar and then press the F4 button) which would put the signs in for you.

This method is, by far, very much less tedious than typing the dollar sign each time and moving the mouse to precisely the right location.

It was only after poking around did I find out that the Mac keyboard shortcut equivalent is not F4, but Apple key T.

However, I do know that you can protect cells from being edited this can be found in the Format Protection menu in Windows Reply Jt says: September 10, 2009 at 9:04 pm Hey dude, U rock, I short of words to explain how much your tip has helped me.

Many thanks Reply Faith says: November 30, 2009 at 9:09 am Hi there Ive owned my very first IMac for two days now and I follow all the instructions I read on how to protect certain cells in one of our Excel spreadsheets (we easily did this when using Microsoft Excel on a PC) but the MAC version of Excel seems to only let you protect the whole sheet or nothing, there is not an option to just protect some of the cells.

Theres got to be a way, Ill just have to keep on searchin Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Reply Alvin says: November 30, 2009 at 10:48 am hey there maybe this would help Reply Faith says: November 30, 2009 at 5:36 pm Thanks, but this I had already tried when I made my post.

Didnt work at all for MAC but yes, this is how we had been doing it on our Microsoft PC.
