I currently have to format an income statement for an Excel challenge I am doing. No macros/VBA are allowed, as the challenge must be done with the keyboard. I also have access to the FactSet add-in. Does anyone know how I can automate this challenge to try and get my time down as much as possible? I can go through the “formal steps,” but feel there has to be some tricks to use. Would love any tips & tricks.
