ShortcutdrillLearn the Excel shortcuts by pressing them.
38 drills on a live sheet. Each one gives you a task and a limit on key presses, so you learn the shortcut instead of reaching for the mouse. Timed, with best times kept.
A key-press limit, so the shortcut sticks.
- 01Read the taskJump to the last row, select the Revenue column, add a total. The mouse is switched off.
- 02Do it on the sheetThe sheet responds like Excel: jumps stop at the edge of the data, fill down moves the references, AutoSum finds the numbers.
- 03Within the limitNine arrow presses where one shortcut does it does not count. Try again until it takes one key, then beat your time in a sprint.
Five groups, from jumping around to real clean-ups.
| 7 | Moving around | Ctrl+Arrow jumps, Ctrl+Home, Ctrl+End, Home, and finding the gaps in a column. |
| 8 | Selecting | Shift jumps, whole rows and columns, the whole table, and selecting to the start or end of the data. |
| 8 | Formatting | Bold, italic and underline; currency, percent, thousands, date and General formats. |
| 11 | Editing | AutoSum, fill down and right, today's date, undo, clear, cut and paste, insert and delete rows, filters. |

Questions
Do I need Excel installed?
No. The drills run on a small sheet in your browser that responds to the same keys as Excel. What you practice here works the same way in Excel, and most of it in Google Sheets.
Does it work on a Mac?
Yes. Switch the keys to Mac and every drill shows the Mac version. Command works wherever a drill says Ctrl. For number formats use Control, because Command+Shift+4 takes a screenshot on a Mac.
Why is there a limit on key presses?
Because the point is the shortcut. You can reach any cell with the arrow keys; the limit makes sure you learn the one key press that does it, so it sticks.
Do I need an account?
No. The free drills work without one and save progress in your browser. A free account saves progress across devices, and Pro unlocks the rest.
How do I cancel the monthly plan?
Open Account and choose Cancel subscription. You keep Pro until the end of the period you paid for and are not charged again. If Pro is not for you, you get a full refund within 14 days of paying.
