ALT+F4
Alt + f + h + e + a = send that mofo model out and hit the clubs
Its not excel, but control+alt+delete and then enter, followed by me quickly walking out the door to my car is my favorite shortcut.
Save time by doing the windows symbol button + L. Save even more time by setting up a mattress outside and hopping out the window. You'll be in your car before you know it.
alt + e + s + (v,t,f,x)...paste special always comes in clutch
I was going to say ALT + E + S + T, makes my life so much easier
.
Hit them with an Alt + L + DM or Alt + L + I + U and use it to mention that as a VBA God you can automate much of the work
CTL + Alt + Left Arrow
Ctrl + V
F1
ALT + Tab to Outlook, CTRL + N, type up email to analyst, ALT + S. Model done.
Any time I receive a model, ALT + M + N (Name Manager) and look at the shitshow of broken links to desktops of the client and other banks, cell names like "fuckbanking," "ebitda" (12 times) references to old versions of models or another deal entirely, etc.
If you haven't tried it, I strongly recommend it.
This is too true. Blows up your model size as well.
Highlight all constants: F5 + Alt S + O
Highlight all formulas: F5 + Alt S + F
Any of the Alt + E + S paste functions.
Alt, A, E, Enter, Enter, Enter
It get's rid of those stupid green triangles that pop up on cells.
CTRL + C, CTRL + V.
Alt + H O T
Gotta make sure those tabs colors are in order. Also useful for picking up hardesses.
ctrl + windows + Q
