If you work with large data then itâs better to add a serial number column
to it.
For me, the best way to do this is to apply the table to the dataâŚ
âŚand then add 1 in the above serial number, just like below.
To do this, you simply need to add 1 to the first cell of the columnâŚ
âŚand then create a formula to add 1 to the above cellâs value.
As you are using a table, whenever you create a new entry in the table,
Excel will automatically drop down the formulaâŚ
âŚand youâll get the serial number.
6. 22.. CCuurrrreenntt DDaattee aanndd TTiimmee
The best way to insert the current date and time is to use NOW function...
...which takes date and time from the system and returns when you insert
it in a cell.
The only problem with this function is itâs volatile...
...and whenever you recalculate something it updates its value and if you
donât want to do this...
...the best way is to convert it into value.
Otherwise, you can use below VBA code...
Sub timeStamp()
Dim ts As Date
With Selection
.Value = Now
.NumberFormat = "m/d/yyyy h:mm:ss AM/PM"
End With
End Sub
or these methods to insert a timestamp in a cell.
7. 33.. SSeelleecctt NNoonn--AAddjjaacceenntt CCeellll đĽđĽ
Normally we all do it this way, hold the control key and the select cells
one by one.
But I have found that there is a far better way for this.
All you have do is, select the first cell and then press SHIFT + F8, this gives
you add or remove selection mode in which you can select cells by just
selecting them.
âŚhereâs the full tip
8. 44.. AAdddd SSoorrtt BBuuttttoonnss ttoo QQAATT
If you deal with the data which needs to sort frequently...
...then...
...itâs better to add a button to the quick access toolbar (if it's not there
already).
All you need to do is click on the down arrow on the quick access
toolbar...
...and then select âSort Ascendingâ and âSort Descendingâ.
It adds both of the buttons to the QAT for âAscendingâ and âDescendingâ.
9. 55.. MMoovvee DDaattaa uussiinngg SSiimmppllee DDrraagg aanndd DDrroopp
Just think this way...
...you have a small data table and you want to move it from one section of
your worksheet from another.
Iâm sure you think about copy-paste but you can also use drag-drop for
this.
And all you need to do is select the range of cells where you have data...
...and then click on the border of the selection.
By holding it move to the place where you need to put it.

check using status bar.
By holding it move to the place where you need to put it.
11. 77.. CCooppyy PPaassttee DDaattaa ffrroomm CClliippbbooaarrdd
There is a problem with normal copy-paste that you can only use a single
value at a time.
But here is the kicker:
When you copy a value, it goes to the clipboard...
...and if you open the clipboard you can paste all the values which you
have copied.
To open a clipboard, click...
...on the go to Home Tab â Editing and then click on the down arrow.
It will open the clipboard on the left side of the window and you can
paste values from there.

Unlike Word, in Excel, there is no option on the ribbon to apply
strikethrough.
But I have figured out that there are 5 ways to do it and easiest from all of
them is a keyboard shortcut.
All you need to do it select the cell where you want to apply the
strikethrough and use the below keyboard shortcut.
Control + 5
âŚand if you are using MAC then here the shortcut.
â + ⧠+ X
Quick Note: You can use the same shortcuts keys if you need to do this
for partial text in a cell.
22. 1155.. CCrreeaattee aa BBaarr CCooddee iinn EExxcceell
Itâs one of those secret tips which most of the Excel users are unaware.
To create a bar-code in Excel all you need to do it install this bar-code
font from ID-AUTOMATIC.
Once you install this font, you will have to type the number in a cell for
which you want to create a bar-code and then apply the font style.

We all have some favorite fonts and colors which we use in Excel.
Letâs say you received a file from your colleague and now you want to
change the font and colors for the worksheet from that file.

takes time.
But, if you create a custom theme with your favorite colors and font then
you can change the style of the worksheet with a single click.
For this, all you have to do is apply your favorite designs to the tables,
colors to the shapes and charts, font style and then save it as a custom
theme.
Hereâs how to do it.

Formulas and functions are the core power of Microsoft Excel. In short,
they can make you great and here we have some formula tips which can
make you smart.
31. 2211.. NNoorrmmaall TTeexxtt CCaassee ttoo SSeenntteennccee CCaassee
In Excel, we have three different functions (LOWER, UPPER, and PROPER)
to convert a text into different cases.
But there is no option to convert a text into sentences case.
Here is the formula which you can use:
=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&LOWER(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1))
This formula converts the first letter of a sentence into capital and rest of
all in small...
...learn how this formula works
32. 2222.. FFoorrmmuullaa ttoo GGeenneerraattee RRaannddoomm NNuummbbeerrss
In Excel, there are two specific functions which you can use to generate
random numbers.
First is RAND which generates random numbers between 0 and 1.
And second is RANDBETWEEN which generates the random numbers
within the range of two specific numbers.
ALERT: These both functions are volatile so whenever you re-calculate
your worksheet or hit enter they update their values so make sure to use
them with a caution.
You can also use RANDBETWEEN to generate random letters as well.
33. 2233.. CCoouunntt WWoorrddss ffrroomm aa CCeellll iinn EExxcceell
In Excel, there is no specific function to count words.
You can count characters with LEN but not words. But, you can use the
following formula which can help you to count words from a cell.
=LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,â â,ââ))+1
This formula counts the number of spaces from a cell and adds 1 to it
after that which equals the total number of words in a cell.
34. 2244.. CCaallccuullaattee PPeerrssoonnââss AAggee uussiinngg DDAATTEEDDIIFF
The best way to calculate a personâs age is by using the DATEDIF
function.
This mysterious function is specifically made to get the difference
between two dates.
And the formula will be:
=âYour age is â& DATEDIF(Date-of-Birth,Today(),âyâ) &â
Year(s), â& DATEDIF(Date-of-Birth, TODAY(),âymâ)& â MONTH(s) &
â& DATEDIF(Date-of-Birth,TODAY(),âmdâ)& â Day(s).â
Make sure to replace âDate-of-Birthâ with your actual date of birth.
35. 2255.. SSiimmppllee FFoorrmmuullaa ttoo CCaallccuullaattee RRaattiioo
I have figured out that there are 4 different ways to calculate ratio in
Excel but using a simple divide method is the easiest one.
All you need to do is divide the larger number into the smaller one
concatenates it with a colon and one and hereâs the formula you need to
use:
=Larger-Number/Smaller-Number&â:â&â1âł
This formula divides the larger number with the smaller so that you can
take the smaller number as a base (1).
36. 2266.. CCaallccuullaattee NN RRoooott ooff NNuummbbeerr
To calculate square root, cube root or, any root of a number the best way
is to use exponent formula.
In exponent formula, you can specify the Nth number for which you want
to calculate the root.
=number^(1/n)
For example, if you want to calculate a square root of 625 then the
formula will be:
=625^(1/2)
37. 2277.. TToottaall DDaayyss iinn MMoonntthh
To get a total number of days in a month dynamically you can use the
following formula:

⢠Select your chart which you have formatted & copy it.
⢠Now, select the chart where you want to paste that formatting.
⢠Go to Home Tab â Paste â Paste Special â Formats.
⢠Click OK.
44. 3333.. HHiiddee AAxxiiss LLaabbeellss
This charting tip is simple but still quite useful.
If you donât want to show axis label values in your chart you can delete
