macOS and Windows Excel Shortcut: Toggle absolute and relative references | Exceljet
Posted by jpluimers on 2020/04/20
Since I tend to forget the Mac shortcut (the Windows one feels like it is in my autonomic nervous system):
F4
Windows shortcut⌘T
Mac shortcutWhile editing a formula, this shortcut toggles cell references from relative to absolute, to partially absolute, back to relative again:A1
–>$A$1
–>A$1
— >$A1
— >A1
It’s much faster and easier than typing$
characters manually.To convert an existing formula, enter cell edit mode, place the cursor in or next to the reference you’d like to convert, then use the shortcut.Note: in Excel 2016 for the Mac, you can also use fn + F4.
