By deciding on multiple cells in Excel you can delete data, apply formatting such as borders or shading,Windows 7 Home Premium, or apply other options to large areas of a worksheet all at one time.
While using the drag select method with the mouse to quickly highlight a block of adjacent cells is probably the most common way of choosing more than one cell,Office 2010 Activation, there are times when the cells you want to highlight are not located beside each other.
When this occurs, it is possible to select non-adjacent cells. Although selecting non-adjacent cells can be done solely with the keyboard,Windows 7 Activation, it is easier to do using the keyboard and mouse together.
