Microsoft Excel provides the perfect platform for an on-demand pricing calculator. Instead of fumbling with your calculator while you're on the phone with a prospect, I will show you how to create a pricing chart that automatically adjusts all possible options based on just a few cells. In this example I will assume we are charging on a per-seat basis, similar to most SaaS companies. List price will be $50/core seat, and $25/ lite seat, but I am willing to discount up to 20% off.

Seems to have been an issue since dowloading 10.7.5 and Mac 2011 14.3.2.Thanks. List of Excel shortcuts on keyboard for PC and Mac. Parentheses for a function after typing a function name in a formula.
I will setup my spreadsheet so that all I have to do is adjust the number of seats, and the rest will be calculated for me. Here is my simple price calculator. The only thing I have to change on each of my calls is the seat number, and the Totals per Month will automatically re-calculate. Now, lets reveal the formulas in each cell. The Standard pricing formula is straight forward.
All it is doing is multiple the number of Core Seats by $50, the number of Lite Seats by $25, and adding the two numbers together. The discounted pricing formulas do the same thing, but they first calculate the discount and then subtract that from the Standard Pricing row.
There are a few different ways to accomplish this calculation so feel free to play with the formulas as needed. And there you have it! A complete pricing calculator that only needs you to change the seat numbers to update completely. You can set this up for unlimited possibilities in discounts or upsells to save you time and money in the future.

I steered clear of creating pivot tables on Microsoft Excel for many years. Simply hearing the phrase 'pivot table' in the office made me run the other way. I didn't even know what they did, they just seemed extremely complex and daunting. I was eventually asked to create a pivot table and within the hour my fears were gone. With Microsoft Excel for Mac, creating a pivot table is easily achieved in just a few steps using the toolbar. No formulas or shortcuts necessary!
Step 1: The original data. For this example our data for the pivot table will be in Sheet 1. Step 2: Select the cell where you want the pivot table to appear.
We are going to use A1 on Sheet2. Step 3: Select the Data tab from the toolbar in Microsoft Excel.
Step 4: Click the small arrow next to the PivotTable icon and select the Create Manual PivotTable option. Step 5: The Create PivotTable dialog box will appear. Here we must select the original data table on Sheet1 for the “Use a table or a range in this workbook” Location: box. To do so, click on Sheet1 and highlight your table: This will auto-populate the information into the Create PivotTable dialog box. Step 6: Now the Create a PivotTable box will close and a PivotTable builder will appear. In the upper portion labeled Field name, select the fields you wish to add to your pivot table.
I have selected Order Number, Product, Unit Price, and Quantity. I then moved Order Number from the Values box to the Row Labels, because I do not need a value for the Order Number. Whenever you are satisfied with your pivot table, that should be changing in the background as you modify the options in the PivotTable builder, click the X to close the builder dialog box. Step 7: Edit the cell with Row Labels to the correct terminology: In my example that would be Order Number. And there you have it!

Please let us know if you have any questions, the Excel Skin team is here to help! Microsoft Excel for Mac doesn’t automatically underline incorrect spelling. This is because formulas are usually abbreviations of words, which would cause almost every cell with a formula to be underlined.
There are times that spell check is very necessary though. Note: Excel will not correct grammar like Word, but it will find those misspelt words. When your Excel spreadsheet is going to be in a presentation or handed into a professor it’s best to do a spell check on the entire workbook just incase. The shortcut to spellcheck is a simple one modifier key shortcut.
With any cell selected press fn + F7: This will open the spell check dialog box. From here you can review all spelling mistakes in the worksheet and correct them if needed. If the correction is not needed click Ignore to move on to the next incorrect word.
Click on one of the Suggestions and then Change to change the selected word to the Suggestion Click Add to add the word Excel marked as misspelt to the dictionary so it does not select the word as incorrect in the future. Ignore All will skip over every instance of the misspelt word in your worksheet.
For example, if I clicked Ignore All on the dialog box above all cells with asdf would be skipped. Change All will change every instance of the misspelt word to the word chosen in the Suggestions box. Has your Standard Toolbar ever disappeared in Microsoft Excel for Mac? Have no fear, there’s a shortcut to get it back! Toggling the Standard Toolbar on the top of the Microsoft Excel window is a simple one modifier key shortcut.

Not only does it slow you down but it often messes things up. The mouse is a clumsy and ancient tool that is slowly going extinct.
What’s the cure? More keyboard! Today we will discuss the simplest of shortcut - how to edit a cell. I know what you’re all thinking – just click on it. Clicking on a cell and typing will delete anything already in the cell and overwrite it with your new inputs. Well then why don’t we double-click it?
Double-clicking will enable you to edit the data in the cell but it often places the cursor in random spots and is a precursor for mistakes. So what do we do? Use your keyboard of course Scroll to the cell you wish to edit with the arrow keys: Now that we have the cell we wish to edit active we can execute the shortcut to edit: ⌃U This brings us into the active cell and places the cursor at the end of all the data. From here we can scroll and make our modifications: With one click of the Enter key the changes are saved in the active cell.
And there you have it, another simple one modifier key shortcut that aids in the war against the mouse. Once you start using the Edit Active Cell shortcut you’ll never double click another cell again. Repeating the Last Action At the beginning of the summer we went over how to undo the last action executed in Microsoft Excel for Mac.
Today we will learn how to “repeat the last action” – basically how to undo the undo. So lets say you just made a big mistake and you hit the Undo shortcut (Command + Z). Then you realize it wasn’t a mistake and you shouldn’t have executed the Undo shortcut, this is where the Repeat Last Action comes into play. We can execute the simple 1 modifier key Repeat Last Action shortcut and your Undo is reversed. Data: I highlighted random cells by mistake: So I execute the Undo shortcut (Command + Z) And the highlight goes away.
But 2 seconds later I decide I actually like the highlight. Now I execute the Repeat Last Action Shortcut. ⌘Y And our highlighted fields are back!
