The following are just a few of the time-saving selecting features added by the Spreadsheet Assistant that make Microsoft Excel easier to use:

  • Select down or to the right without the screen moving
  • Add individual select buttons to Excel's quick access toolbar
  • Use a Select Cells QAT menu that expands into a submenu when space is limited
  • Set the target column/row for precise selections
  • Select to the target column when doing intense editing
  • Select to the target row across many rows and columns

The following is the Select Assistants menu that appears when you click on the Select Assistants button. Any of the features can be added to Excel’s quick access toolbar for instant use any time.

The first four features on the Select Assistants menu allow you to select down or to the right without the screen moving! You can add these buttons individually to Excel’s quick access toolbar (by right-clicking on the buttons), or, if you are space-limited on your QAT, you can add the Select Cells QAT menu, which expands into a submenu.

These features do selections without the screen moving!

We like to add the select right and select down buttons to the quick access toolbar so we can use them instantly, no matter what Excel tab we are on.

The last three select assistants — Set the target column/row, Select to the Target Column, and Select to the Target Row — have saved us a lot of time when we are doing intense editing and must do many selections to specific rows or columns.
