Essential REPE Modeling Tips, Hotkeys, Shortcuts?
1st year virtual analyst here. One of the shittier things about WFH is missing out on excel tips and tricks from more senior guys at my firm that would naturally get passed down if we were all sitting in a bullpen together. Would appreciate any tricks to improve workflow, model more efficiently, etc. Thanks in advance!
Ctrl + [ when you select a cell will take you to the referenced cell. Blew my mind when I was told about it. If it's a range, it will highlight the range too. Great for auditing someone else's work
Use ALT to automate common hotkeys (the more you can reference from muscle memory the faster/more efficient you will become), use escalators "*","X", etc. at the end of worksheets to reference cells further out from a reference point, ALT+E+S to Paste Special formulas, formats, values, Formulas/evaluation formula to decipher and filter more complicated nested formulas, inputs = blue (R=51, G=51, B=255), references to other sheets = green, formulas = black, do yourself a favor/cover yourself by leaving comments by SHIFT + F2, for the sake of your seniors don't name cells (will make it easier for them to audit if you don't). Last but not least, take a pen/pencil and use leverage to remove the F1 key so you're not bogged down with the "Help" pop out. Sure there's more, but those are the ones that come to mind.
