{Ctrl+W} -- 'Close file' or 'Hide column'
Our take
I have been issues with Excel lately, in that {Alt+F} or selecting File is taking longer and longer to display. (I usually have 20-30 excel files open, and it appears that something in the File Screen iterates through the open files in the manner of 1, 1,2, 1,2,3, 1,2,3,4, etc. -- not as bad as a n² or n! type of programming issue, but it's still extremely frustrating. ) To avoid this, switched from {Alt+F}, C to {Ctrl+W}. Today, Excel switched from {Ctrl+W} closing the file to instead hiding the column of the currently selected cell (s).
Is this MS being "helpful" and messing with functionality? Or did I inadvertently change a setting somewhere and break it myself?

- Excel on Mac shifts between open sheets when, while entering a function, I hit Cmd+Shift+Arrow or Ctrl+Shift+Arrow, WHY?So I use Excel on my Macbook. Whenever I try entering a function like SUM and I want to select a range with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Arrow it switches to another open Excel file and I don't understand why. It happens 95% of the time, and I'm not sure if there's a weird shortcut mapping or something weirder going on. Has anyone gone through this? Thanks submitted by /u/lessavyfav68 [link] [comments]
- Has Excel been garbage for other people lately, too?I’ve used it for over a decade and just this past year, I feel like it’s having an issue at least everyday. It’s mostly with the focus switching to the wrong workbook, clicking in cells not being registered correctly, and some keyboard shortcuts just breaking randomly until I restart. Working in excel used to be a pleasure; now it annoys me at least a couple times a day. I mostly just needed to vent because wtf Microsoft? Edit: to clarify, I’m using the Microsoft 365 version which is probably part of the problem. submitted by /u/TheInternetShill [link] [comments]
