Excel 2011 Comment On Cells Mac World If

This still works in the Mac world if I enter it manually, but in the Windows version of Excel, there was a keyboard shortcut (highlight A1 in the formula bar and then press the F4 button) which would put the signs in for you.

This method is, by far, very much less tedious than typing the dollar sign each time and moving the mouse to precisely the right location.

It was only after poking around did I find out that the Mac keyboard shortcut equivalent is not F4, but Apple key T.

Many thanks Reply Faith says: November 30, 2009 at 9:09 am Hi there Ive owned my very first IMac for two days now and I follow all the instructions I read on how to protect certain cells in one of our Excel spreadsheets (we easily did this when using Microsoft Excel on a PC) but the MAC version of Excel seems to only let you protect the whole sheet or nothing, there is not an option to just protect some of the cells.

Theres got to be a way, Ill just have to keep on searchin Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Didnt work at all for MAC but yes, this is how we had been doing it on our Microsoft PC.
