‘Cntrl + ~’ flips all cells from formula view to results view. Very handy for complex modeling.

Great list! You left off CTRL+A which highlights all cells in the spreadsheet.

One of my favorites- to highlight all populated columns to the right and rows below: CTRL + SHIFT + Arrow Right then Arrow Down.

sorry, the symbols i used did not filter into the message… CTRL + to zoom in and CTRL – to zoom out or you can use your mouse scroller and CTRL

F2 – allows quick access the contents of a cells also available/evident in the formula bar.
F4 – changes a cells reference types only when the cell is in EDIT mode (absolute, relative references, and mixed) where formulas are evident.

F2 followed by F4 is a quick way to switch a cells reference types.

CTRL + Insert : another way to copy cells contents
SHIFT + Insert: another way to paste cells contents

CTRL + P: Print
CTRL + O: Open file dialog
CTRL + B : Bold formatting
CTRL + I : Italic formatting
CTRL + U : Underline formatting

CTRL + F10: Maximize wb
CTRL + F9 : Minimize wb

….etc all very handy

I use the paste special, value so much I created a macro and assigned the shortcut of CTRL B. Saves a lot of time.

except for cut and paste, I tend to use mouse short cuts… but one that combines the two that i have found handy if you have a scroller on your mouse is + to zoom in and to zoom out

ctrl+ shift + arrow keys to really fine tune the area selected
