Well most of people might be aware about some basic shortcuts of excel. So i would not like to ex some basic Ctrl+C Ctrl+VCtrl+X etc kind of shortcuts.... Few of the shortcuts are being given below. CTRL+Shift+# Change Date format with day month and year. CTRL+Shift+@ Change Time format with hour and minute AM or PM. CTRL+Shift+ For the current time. CTRL+; For current date. CTRL+9 Hide selected rows. CTRL+ Hide selected columns. CTRL+K To insert Hyper. CTRL+H Opens up the Find and Replace dialog box. CTRL+R Uses the Fill Rightmand to copy the contents and format of the leftmost cell of a selected range into the cells to the right. CTRL+7 Hides or displays the standard toolbar. ALT+F1 This creates a chart out of the data in the current range (selected cells). This is the most well-known feature of Excel and now you know a new way to use it! ALT+SHIFT+F1 Inserts a new worksheet into a workbook. F6 or Alt Switches between the worksheet Ribbon task pane and Zoom controls. I think this is probably the most useful shortcut of all of us. This cool shortcut is also the most beloved to all the anti-mouse users out there. CTRL+F6 Switches to the next workbook window when multiple workbook windows are open. CTRL+SHIFT+$ Applies the currency format to the selected cells. CTRL+D Fill downmand on the selected cells. Fill down copies the content and format of the topmost cell into the cells below. CTRL+R Fill rightmand on the selected cells. Fill right copies the content and format of the leftmost cell to the cells to the right. CTRL+SHIFT+1 Number formatting with two decimal places. CTRL+SHIFT+2 Format as time CTRL+SHIFT+3 Format as date. CTRL+SHIFT+4 Format as currency value ($) CTRL+SHIFT+5 Format as percentage. CTRL+SHIFT+6 Format number in exponential form also known as scientific form CTRL+SHIFT+7 Apply single line border to selection. CTRL+SHIFT+7 Make a selection of contiguous cells. Alt+= Auto sum Hope all above shortcuts would be helpful enough. Good luck.!!

You dont need VBA. Use Excel functionality Import an entire folder contents into one worksheet table. Make sure the folder containing your files have only the files for importing. If you have folders and other files in there you will need to do extra steps which brings you into the realm of PowerQuery which I haven included here. Go to Data menu in Excel and select From File 2 From Folder. Select the folder that contains the files you want to import. Click OK. Your files will be listed. click Edit. Click Combine button and its drop down option Combine and Edit. Assuming your files are in the same format (i.e. same columns in same places) then you can let the value in Example File box be First file. Select your table or Sheet as appropriate to your workbook. Click OK. The PowerQuery window wil open. You only need to click Close and Load here. It is at this point (in the PowerQuery window) that you can manipulate the data here if you have folders and other files that got scooped up by the Excel importation process. But that is for another Quora Question! The contents of the four (in this example) files have been imported into one table in one workbook sheet. That it!

In addition to what Alexey has described if you are trying to search content in multiple workbooks without opening them you can create a power query and fetch results in a data set driven by that query.

Power Query - Overview and Learning s In most recent versions it appears on your ribbon as Get & Transform with various options as to where you want to get your raw data from. If my assumption is correct that you want to lookup a value in various workbooks you will probably end up using get files from file 2 from a folder. Best of luck.
