This is for those who use Excel for their jobs, as in the day in day out. These specific shortcuts are the ones which are frequently used after the basic ones like Ctrl+C, Alt+ESV, etc. Below is the list of shortcuts for rookies in Excel Ctrl+N - Create a new workbook Ctrl+W - Close the active workbook. Ctrl+O - Open an existing workbook. F12 - Save the active workbook under a new name, displays the Save as dialog box. Ctrl+F2 - Print Preview Ctrl+P - Open the print dialogue. Ctrl+1 - Open the "Format Cells" dialog. Ctrl+D - You can copy the cells and format the first cell you selected into the below cells. If one would want more than one column to be selected, then the contents of the first cell in each column will be copied going down. Ctrl+Space - Select the entire column. Shift+Space - Select the entire row. Again this is just for rookies. I hope this helps! read less

What is the use of Data validation commond. can you demonstare the example in common life?

The point of data validation is to pick the list in a drop down fashion. It will ease your work by allowing you to select the entries from the drop down rather than you writing for it. It saves a lot of time when it comes to large dataset.
