If you’ve ever done some Excel formulas, you know the power of Absolute references of Rows/Columns.

Just go to cell A1 in Excel, and type =B2

Then press F4.

You’ll see this:

=$B$2

Press F4 again:

=B$2

And once again:

=$B2

I believe this is Shift+F4 in openoffice calc. I’ll confirm later today.

There’s a small deviation on OpenOffice and Excel for this shortcut.

Microsoft Excel: ALT+O, H, R.
OpenOffice Calc: ALT+F, H, R.

Alt+O/F (depending on if you’re using OpenOffice or Excel) will take you to the “Format” menu. “H” will take you to the “Sheet” submenu, and “R” will issue the rename command. [click for full image]

After pressing “R”, you can just type in the new worksheet name. Don’t forget to press enter when you’re done typing in the worksheet name.

Go to cell A1 in Excel/OpenOffice-Calc.

Type “234567″. Then press CTRL+$ (CTRL+SHIFT+4) – “234567″ magically becomes “$234,567.00″. I love spreadsheet shortcuts.

If you have a spreadsheet with multiple worksheets, CTRL+PageDown will take you from left to right and CTRL+PageUp with take you from right to left.

Example:

In the screenshot posted, CTRL+PageUp will take me to Sheet3 and CTRL+PageDown will take me to Sheet2

This shortcut works with Microsoft Excel and OpenOffice.org Calc.
