As a gift for visiting this website, feel free to download the Advanced Excel Productivity reference sheets to the left.
You may print or share as many copies as you like, but please don't alter it, steal it, or present it as your own work. I think that's just basic good manners. Thanks. The Shortcuts sheet is the best Keyboard Shortcuts reference available online. It contains only shortcuts you want to learn and use. There is a PC version and a MAC version. If you're wondering what's the point of keyboard shortcuts, or how most of these work - read the book! The Excel Functions sheet is a quick reference for commonly used functions that will greatly help your work in Excel. More detailed explanations and examples for these functions are also in my book! The VBA sheet contains quick reference for syntax used in macros and custom functions in Excel VBA. This language can be tricky to learn, but you will accomplish at least 90% of what you want by knowing these essential commands. Read my book to learn much more about Excel macros, including sample VBA code to solve common real-world problems. | ||||||

The Chart Formatting file contains example data you can use to follow along with the book. | ||||||
