Great video, thanks! One thing to mention: when you enter current year's date, you don't have to type "year", after typing 4/23, the year will auto-appear!
I like Alt+down-arrow function!

[@buttondownphotos7477]

Great Video but I'm trying to find a way to enter data into a cell using my one click of my mouse. E.g. I have an excel order sheet and I want to be able to click on a cell and it automatically fill in the number 1. This will then be used in my formula at the end of the row showing me how many of the items were ordered. Do you know of a way to single click a cell for autofill or a place I can find the answer? Thanks.

[@agamyratdurdymyradov484]

Hello. I need a help with a password protected corrupted excel file. Do you think you can show me how can I extract the data from that file? or just how can I fix the file?

[@gaeljohnson1244]

What if you don't do it on Excel?

[@harwarinder]

good sir

[@sharifulramjannipu3226]

my excel don't execute the command of ALT+D+O. what u ll recommend us to do ?

[@bass4ever777]

That's because it is a custom keyboard shortcut. He created it. Pay attention!

[@ashaydwivedi420]

+Dragos C How to do that? Macros won't be able to store Alt shortcuts. Please tell

[@bass4ever777]

+Ashay Dwivedi Actually I realized that it isn't a normal shortcut or a macro. You have to press Alt + D + O one after the another, not all at once. It is a Office 2003 shortcut! Try it!

[@ashaydwivedi420]

Oh! Excel 2003 Shortcut! I Am 3 Versions Ahead, So I Forgot About It! Thanks! I Think D Is Data, O Is F(O)RM Thanks Again!!
