Quickly look up common Excel shortcuts with this free online tool. Supports category filtering and keyword search to boost your productivity.
Selected desktop Windows/Mac shortcut reference, not a complete or cross-version guarantee. Menu sequences and simultaneous key chords differ. Keyboard layout, app version, system bindings and function-key settings can affect behavior; check Microsoft documentation for your version. Reference
Overview
Understand what the tool solves, how it works, and the boundaries of its data.
This page is a searchable reference for common Excel actions. Enter a task name, a category, or a key combination to narrow the list. Categories cover areas such as file actions, editing, navigation, selecting cells, formatting, formulas, data, workbooks, and views. The results show the action and the shortcut listed for the selected platform.
It is a quick lookup list rather than a complete catalog of every Excel command or every shortcut in every release. If an item is absent, that does not prove Excel has no shortcut for it.
Guide
Follow the workflow and verify inputs and outputs with practical examples.
Use the platform tabs to view Windows or macOS combinations. The page may select macOS automatically on a Mac, but you can change the platform manually. Search results use the chosen platform’s listed key combination; they do not convert every Windows shortcut by replacing Ctrl with Command.
For example, the list shows Ctrl+S on Windows and Command+S on macOS for saving. Other actions may use different keys, and some items may not have an entry for both platforms.
Use cases
See how the tool fits into real work and everyday tasks.
Select Windows or macOS before relying on the displayed keys.
Type a task such as “save” or a combination such as Ctrl+S.
Read the description beside the shortcut so you know which Excel action it refers to.
If the shortcut behaves differently, check Microsoft’s documentation for your Excel version and operating system.
A plus sign between key names generally means press those keys together, such as Ctrl+Shift+L. A sequence separated by commas or separate menu instructions means perform the steps in order. Do not confuse a simultaneous key combination with a sequence.
On a Mac, the physical keyboard and system settings can affect which keys are convenient or whether another application intercepts them. Function keys may also require a modifier depending on the keyboard configuration. Follow the key labels shown for the selected platform and test in your actual Excel app.
Q&A
Find concise answers to common questions and confusing cases.
No. It is a searchable reference for common listed actions.
Excel has platform-specific combinations; the page lists each platform separately rather than applying a simple key substitution.
Check Excel version, platform, keyboard layout, function-key settings, and system or app conflicts.
Notes
Review scope, result limitations, and important precautions before use.
Shortcut behavior may vary by platform, version, keyboard setup, and competing system shortcuts. Confirm an important action in Microsoft’s documentation for your edition and test it in your own environment.
