Get ready for some of my favorite timesaving tips and tricks to use in MS Excel.

Want to copy an entire worksheet?

• Simply select the tab of the worksheet.
   
• Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the tab of the worksheet to either the left or right.
   
• You will see what looks appears to be a little sheet of paper with a plus sign on it Drag the little sheet wherever you wish to copy it.
   
• Release the mouse and you are finished!

Want to clear cells in a worksheet?

I know that you most likely are aware that you can do this by selecting the cells you want to clear and pressing the delete key or right-clicking the cells and selecting Clear contents.

What you may not know is that you can do it this way as well:

• Select the cells to clear.
   
• Go to the last cell in the series and get your fill handle.
   
• Drag it in reverse over the cells.
   
• You will see them turning gray.
   
• Release the mouse and bingo - the cells are empty.

This won't delete the cells, but only clears them.

Want your text to wrap?

• Key in your text and when you are finished, click on ALT + Enter and then go to another cell.
   
• Your text will be wrapped to fit the column.
