MrExcel's Most Productive Analysis Techniques

links:none on file
slides:none on file

Covers concrete Excel shortcuts and fixes: create a ready-to-use chart in one keystroke (Alt+F1), save it as a template and set it as default, paste new data onto a chart to update it, use double-click fill handle to copy formulas, define custom lists for custom sorts, and paste-values via keyboard/menu shortcuts. Shows pivot tricks (only ~10% of 750M Excel users build pivots) including Show Report Filter Pages to auto-create one sheet per filter, toggling GETPIVOTDATA, and vlookup debugging (use FALSE, TRIM, or an INDEX/MATCH or the two-TRUE lookup speed hack). Ends with formula-auditing tips and a “speak cells on enter” prank.
