Train a command in context

Read the task, recall the keys and check the feedback. Repeat commands you want to use in your own spreadsheets. The practice checks your key combination; it does not edit a real workbook.

Check the application and platform

This page opens the Windows Excel collection. Excel for Mac is available among the Mac apps. Choose the matching collection; desktop and web shortcuts can differ. Function keys may require Fn depending on your keyboard settings.

Keep your layout in mind

Swiss and German QWERTZ keyboards differ in symbol placement. Select a matching keyboard in the trainer and consult the lesson note. Use the safe answer field for combinations the browser reserves.
