Learning Shortcut Key from Coworker

Website showing keyboard shortcuts: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/keyboard-shortcuts-in-excel-1798d9d5-842a-42b8-9c99-9b7213f0040f#:~:text=After%20you've%20copied%20the,Home%20%3E%20Paste%20%3E%20Paste%20Special. 

Today, at work as a Finance & Accounting Specialist, my coworker showed the shortcut for paste special dialog box, which is Alt + E + S or Ctrl + Alt + V. First, you want to copy a single cell or a row or column of cells. Then use the shortcut. It was also cool to learn to use right click H or right click U to quickly hide or unhide Excel tabs.

In particular, I appreciate the use of Alt + E + S + T to copy format of a cell as opposed to having to click format painter icon on top left. There are many other shortcut keys, such as Ctrl + Shift + L to add a filter, and Alt + H + O + I to automatically adjusts the selected cells’ column widths to equal the size of their contents, and Ctrl + D for Copying the Formula Across a Column and CTRL + R for Copying Formula Across a Row, that I use in my daily Excel tasks.

GETPIVOTDATA

GETPIVOTDATA The GETPIVOTDATA function returns visible data from a PivotTable. Honestly, at its simplest, just use "=" and then click on a cell and then the whole syntax will autopopulate. That is how I returned the Billing Gross, Net, and Commission YTD. I think is helpful to use a data validation list. First, use "=" and reference a cell and then just change the item to reference the cell that has data validation. For example, there when you change the media type on the green cell F12, you can get its unbilled gross, net, and commission. Note that the data validation list dropdown may not appear unless you open the workbook on your Excel Desktop and open the workbook in Edit mode.

Xlookup specific value in the middle of a string

EXCELIFSUN Credits goes to the YouTuber EXCELSIFUN. I was familiar with idea of using MID and XLOOKUP.  However, I liked how he pointed out by adding a zero, it can convert the text after using the MID function to a number so that we can use the xlookup. Also, if you highlight all the cells, then enter the formula in the first cell of the highlighted array, then Ctrl + Enter, you can autofill the formula throughout that whole array.
