Expand or collapse ribbon This shortcut seems a bit frivolous until you realize that the ribbon is sitting there taking up 4 rows of space, even when you're not using it at all. Use Control + F1 (Mac: Command + Option + R) to collapse the ribbon when you don't need it, and bring it back when you do. Display the Paste Special dialog box This shortcut, Control + Alt + V (Mac: Control + Command + V) doesn't actually finish the paste; it just opens the Paste Special dialog box. At that point, you'll need to chose the type of paste you want to perform. There are so many things you can do with paste special; it's a topic in itself.

So, if you have a multiple filters active, you can 'reset' all filters by using the shortcut twice in a row: once to remove the filters (which clears all filters), and once again to add a new autofilter.

However, in Excel, this shortcut behaves differently in different contexts.

If the cursor is in an empty cell, Control + A selects the entire worksheet. But if the cursor is in a group of contiguous cells, Control + A will select the entire group of cells instead. The behavior changes again when the cursor is in an Excel Table. The first time you use Control + A, the table data is selected. The second time, both the table data + table header are selected.

Finally, the third time you use Control + A, the entire worksheet is selected. Move to edge of data region This shortcut sounds boring but it is vital if you routinely work with big lists or tables.

The cursor will travel to the first empty cell (or the edge of the spreadsheet, whichever comes first). If you start in an empty cell, the behavior is reversed - the cursor will move to the first cell with content and stop.
