Paste results into cell without formulas
You may not always want to copy everything from the source cells to the destination cells. For example, you
may want to copy only the current values of formulas rather than the formulas themselves.

Apply or remove cell borders

Excel includes a variety of built-in formats that cover general, numeric, currency, percentage, exponential,
date, time, and custom numeric formats. You can also design your own custom formats based on one of the
built-in formats.

Using advanced filtering
In addition to manual data filtering Excel enables fully automated filtering based on data from the
specified range of cells. Before you can use the advanced filtering feature, you must set up a criteria
range. A criteria range is a designated range on a worksheet that conforms to certain requirements.
View spreadsheets side by side
Sometimes it is necessary to compare two Excel worksheets. E.g., compare balance sheets for different
periods of time. You can do it by comparing worksheets side by side in two automatically linked windows.
Grouping and ungrouping sheets
Sheets can be grouped (connected) to facilitate creating or formatting two or more identical sheets. For
example, you can create one sheet and copy it to two other sheets, or you can group three blank sheets and
enter and format the content once-no subsequent copying required.
