Those are pretty good tips. I keep forgetting how to create a drop-down list. I also wasn't aware of the keyboard shortcuts for hiding and unhiding columns. I especially liked the additional resources down at the bottom of the page. We keep a library of TR PDF files so that we can refer back to them quickly. I'll put this article in our library.

Oops - I'm trying to post a comment to "Get the most from your Excel charts with these five tips", but the TR discussions link there cross-connects me to Bill Detwiler's "Control Excel data entry with these five powerful tips" article instead.

Useful tips, clearly explained.
