I am a student,
I have recently started using a laptop both at work in the classroom and in homework, and I almost always work with names, for some reason (I checked a few more laptops) the following happens:
I enter a function, work with F3 once, enter a multiplication or division action and then when I press F3 or For example,any other F from the F line it does not work, but if I get out of the Excel and return (like if I press the window key and return), suddenly I can work with the F line, I say in advance it probably does not have to do with the Fn key because the F on The computer itself is working normally, on a stationary computer, this case does not happen.
if anyone know the case, know what the solution is, please share.
thanks in advance,
Your prefacing with the fn key not being the culprit does not leave much. Sounds like your function keys become disabled once some event is triggered in excel.
I want to reproduce the issue on other laptops. Correct me where I am wrong with the steps
1. Open Excel, and new sheet
2. click in a cell, enter a function example =2+2
3. move to new cell and press F3 (which is paste a name from paste name dialog box)
4. enter another formula
5. move to new cell and press F3 again (an no F keys work anymore at that point?)
Let me know if i have the steps correct. I tried a few laptops to test. I believe I can help you, just need to be able to reproduce the issue.

this may be a dumb question. I'm no excel expert by any means. But i have to use an evaluation / formula in excel.
I have 3 sheets. Rohdaten (=meaning raw data), where i pasta the data into. And ExpProcA or B. => there the data is referenced and calculations done. The links are like this: =Rohdaten!AW3
I wanted to paste the data via Python / PANDAS. Its all working well, i can paste it via XLSWriter and such. And i also can open it and "refresh" it. I will add the open command and refresh later. But thats not the problem.
Here lies my problem, which i can't solve. The ExpProcA/B and my file says: Some references in your sheet can't be refreshed. Then i can press -> okay or edit references.
But the data/reference is there, if in the ExpProcB sheet i go to A2, B2, C2, D2 where #REF / #BEZUG(german) stands and press enter = its working.
Then i can select this 4 cells and fill all down below without formatting.
How would i solve this / do a real auto update without pressing enter and filling down? I tried every (auto) update option in Excel, turned off any security setting in my Excel settings. But it doesn't happen.
Or is there an easy way to import calculations from XLS into Python? Then i could skip pasting into excel, do calculations there and the stuff of opening/writing/extracting from excel via Python PANDAS.
So, i may think, that there is something off with the file. I'm using the latest version of MS365 / excel.
Here is a screenshot of the cell with the reference and "error" message:
Thanks in advance.

I used the file, pasted data in, thought it would refresh => it doesnt. Tried everything with auto updates and settings, but i can't solve it
I am having a problem with Excel 2010 that I have never seen before. When I hit the arrow key to move to the next cell, instead of moving to the next cell, it tries to add the next cell.
Example: From Cell A1 if I hit the right arrow key, it does not move to Cell A2, but instead comes up with "+A2" within Cell A1. Has anyone experienced this before?
I'm thinking it's some weird option that can be turned on or off because it happens, no matter which spreadsheet I am in. Thanks in advance for the help.
P.S. - This is NOT the problem where the spreadsheet scrolls when you use the arrow keys. I've already been there and done that. :)
Your scroll lock is on. This is a bug in excel that surfaces sometimes - particularly in 64 bit office
The solution that everyone suggests is scroll lock key. This did not help me at all.
However, I did just notice that I had the formula builder pane open (I'm on mac, can't verify for win). When I closed it, the problem went away. I can now commit cell values by using the arrow key again!
It seems having the formula builder open puts the cell into formula mode, even if you are not actively using the builder in that cell.
I am looking for an automatic version of this feature:
https://www.technipages.com/excel-copy-and-paste-values-without-formulas
Is there a built in Excel function that can do this automatically without manually copy/pasting each cell? I have a column of functions and I want to have another column of values beside it.
Thanks!
I'm not sure what you mean by "automatically", but this should at least speed up the process:
Select the cells you want to copy the content from and press CTRL+C
Click in the new cell and instead of using CTRL+V, use CTRL+ALT+V. This will open a dialogue box, in which you have to check "values". This can be done with another keyboard shortcut V (english version of Excel, might be something else in your language).
This might seem complex, but it's actually pretty fast.
Instead of pasting the cells with CTRL+V, you now paste the pure cell values with CTRL+ALT+V + V (+ ENTER, depending on whether you use the english verion or not).
This at least saves you from using the mouse and clicking through additional menues. Hope that helps!
#J Connor, if I'm not mistaken you are in need of PROGRAMMING method, as you have written Automatically.
Here are few simple steps to get the Solution.
Method 1
Range("A1:B10").Copy Destination:=Range("E1")
Method 2
Range("A1:B10").Copy Range("E1").Select ActiveSheet.Paste
Few more I can suggest. ☺
I need to call LINEST in Excel 2011 for Mac, I would say - this was a detective story. My laziness, my curiosity, all was here!
I had a homework from university course to use LINEST.
I even stopped trying to do so on MAC, because after googling I could not find any solution how to do it. (I have tried EACH AND EVERY combination of Fn Ctrl Alt Cmd Return!)
Finally, I found a solution here on stack overflow! I want to mention it again, as it was a long time I spent looking for the solution. I have spent 4 days outside of home, to use just windows PC where it is easy as a pie - F2, CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.
If you want to check if I tell truth - go to HELP in Excel for Mac, type array formula, find LINEST and look at the solution combination!
The solution: select the range, press CONTROL+U and then press ⌘+RETURN.
Here is the link to the original post:
Excel formulas giving #VALUE! error when ported to Mac
This doesn't seem to work in Mac Excel 2016. After a bit of digging, it looks like the key combination for entering the array formula has changed from ⌘+RETURN to CTRL+SHIFT+RETURN.
Select the range, press CONTROL+U and then press ⌘+RETURN.
This works 100%.
Select the cells you want to populate with the formulated data.
Press Control + U.
Add your array formula on any cell (preferably first).
Press Control + Shift + Return.
Remember Control and Command are different keys on Mac!!
Found a solution to Excel Mac2016 as having to paste the code into the relevant cell, enter, then go to the end of the formula within the header bar and enter the following:
Enter a formula as an array formula
Image + SHIFT + RETURN or
CONTROL + SHIFT + RETURN
CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER, ARRAY FORMULA EXCEL 2016 MAC.
So I arrive late into the game, but maybe someone else will. This almost drove me nuts. No matter what I searched for in Google I came up empty. Whatever I tried, no solution seemed to be in sight. Switched to Excel 2016 quite some time ago and today I needed to do some array formulas. Also sitting on a MacBook Pro 15 Touch Bar 2016.
Not that it really matters, but still, since the solution was published on Youtube in 2013. The reason why, for me anyway, nothing worked, is in the Mac OS, the control key by default, for me anyway, is set to manage Mission control, which, at least for me, disabled the control button in Excel.
In order to enable the key to actually control functions in Excel, you need to go to System preferences > Mission Control, and disable shortcuts for Mission control. So, let's see how long this solution will last. Probably be back to square one after the coffee break. Have a good one!
This solution worked for me:
When you’ve chosen range of cells in formula press control+u
Then press shift+enter/return
Select the desired range of cells
Press Fn + F2 or CONTROL + U
Paste in your array value
Press COMMAND (⌘) + SHIFT + RETURN
Probably this question is absurd for you and i don't know if there is solution.
What i would like to do is increment the number that i have copied with control-c after each control-v that i do..
For example if i copy with control-c the number 10 from a site, then when i paste with control-v in another program the number pasted should be 11 etc..
Is there a way to do this???
Because i have to insert about 2000 number in a program and in this specific case is not possible to do script in order to automate the work..
I hope in some answer
Thanks
I can't think of a great way to do it.
What comes immediate to mind is you can open Excel and have two cells, let's call them incoming and outgoing. You paste into incoming, and outgoing is setup to be incoming + 1, which you can copy and paste into your program. So you double the number of copies and pastes you have to make but it won't be the end of the world. It sure beats manually typing.
It's possible, using a small (custom written) program that would run in the background. It would have to look at the contents of the clipboard, test if it's numeric, and if so, increment the value, if it's not already been incremented. Shouldn't be all that hard for a windows programmer worth their salt to cook up.
I did this in excel when i needed it multiple views. row() function enters current row number. Copy this cell for as many times as you want one below other and then copy paste in android studio.
=CONCATENATE("dateBoxView"|ROW()|" = fragmentView.findViewById(R.id.dateBox"|ROW()|");")
You can do this using something like Pulover's Macro Creator. You press a hotkey to copy a number. Everytime you press ctrl-v a the copied number gets +1 and that new number copied to clipboard for the next paste. When you want to stop doing this just stop the macro.
