In this tutorial, I will provide you with Top 10 Advanced Tips in Microsoft Excel you can apply when doing your work using Microsoft Excel.

Let's start with the advanced tips...

1. Quickly shift to the last cell in the column or row.

The first advanced tips is to quickly shift from the first cell to the last cell in the data, either from column-to-column, or row-to-row. What you have to do is simply go to the border of the cell, and then double click on the bottom border to transition to the last active cell in the column. As for shifting from row-to-row, double click on the right side of the cell border.

Shift to the last cell in the column

Bonus Tips:

You can also double click on the opposite side of the box to shift to the first cell.

2. Removing duplicates.

Removing duplication of any data becomes an easy task when using this advanced tips. You can use it to remove both words and number values.

  • First, select all the cells or data that you want to remove duplications.
  • Next, go to ribbon situated on top of the software, go to Data→Remove Duplicates.
  • Select the header for the duplicated data, and click ok.
  • A thread will be displayed once your duplication removal succeeds, click ok and you are ready to go.

3. Selecting multiple cells to insert the same data

If you plan on putting the same data or value into cells on either different cells or row, this method fits perfectly for that task.

  • First, hold the Ctrl button and select all the cells you need to put data in it.
  • Next, type in the data you need to put, and press Ctrl + Enter.

4. Autofill cells by data pattern

If you wish to insert repetitive data, such as date or months into either the whole column or row, follow these simple steps.

  • First, fill in the type of data you wanted for the column or row, for example, in the above image the data is the month.
  • Next, hover your cursor and hold the fill handle‍ – located on the lower right corner of the cell, then pull down or double click on it to fill in by column or pull it sideways to fill in by rows, until the last cell of your data.

5. Transpose data between row and column

Another advanced tips is transpose. Transpose allows you to shift your data arrangement either in row or column view.

  • Next, select the next cell and press Ctrl + E.
  • Once you have hit CTRL + E, Microsoft Excel will automatically fill up the remaining blank cell with the appropriate data based on the data from the cell before it. For example, in this image, the data is month based on the date given.

Important Notes!

Flash fill only works on data in column cells.

8. Clipboard

To access clipboard in Excel, got to the Home tab and click on the button next to the word Clipboard. Your clipboard will appear on the left side of your spreadsheet.

What Do You Use Clipboards For?

When you copy anything on Microsoft Excel, the data or value that you’ve copied will be saved in the clipboard, make it easy for you to access your data there without having to scroll to find the same data.

Deleting multiple errors when the spreadsheet is already finished can be done by following the steps given.

  • Firstly, go to Home Tab ➜ Editing ➜ Find & Replace ➜ Go To Special.

  • Next, go to View ➜ Freeze Panes and select Freeze Panes.

  • After you’ve selected the range of data, all that’s left is to wait for Excel to transform it and once it’s done, your data will be viewed in the same format as the table you’ve selected before.

16. Impliment Cell Message Into Cells

When collaborating with others on a certain project, sometimes you want another user to avoid make changes to the cells you’ve made. To do this, you might want to put a cell message which will then pop up when someone click on the cell and display the message written on it.

  • Select the cell or range of cells that you want to display the message.
