Modern Excel has more than 1 million rows. If you start in an empty cell, the behavior is reversed - the cursor will move to the first cell with content and stop. The cursor will travel to the first empty cell (or the edge of the spreadsheet, whichever comes first). Rather than scroll up, down, right and left, manually just put your cursor into the data and use Control + Arrow key to move in any direction to the edge of the data range (On a Mac you can use Command or Control). This shortcut sounds boring but it is vital if you routinely work with big lists or tables. Finally, the third time you use Control + A, the entire worksheet is selected. The second time, both the table data + table header are selected. The first time you use Control + A, the table data is selected. The behavior changes again when the cursor is in an Excel Table. But if the cursor is in a group of contiguous cells, Control + A will select the entire group of cells instead. If the cursor is in an empty cell, Control + A selects the entire worksheet. However, in Excel, this shortcut behaves differently in different contexts.

Many people know the shortcut for 'select all': Control + A. This is far faster than fiddling with each filter manually. So, if you have 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. But the best part is toggling off the autofilter will clear any filters that have been set. With the same shortcut, Control + Shift + L (Mac: Command + Shift + F) you can toggle filters on and off any list or data set. If you frequently filter lists or tables, this shortcut should be at the top of your list. But did you know that you can also paste formatting, paste column widths, multiply and add values in place, and even transpose tables? It's all there. At the very least, you probably already use paste special to strip out unwanted formatting and formulas (Paste special > Values).

There are so many things you can do with paste special it's a topic in itself. At that point, you'll need to choose the type of paste you want to perform.

This shortcut, Control + Alt + V (Mac: Control + Command + V) doesn't actually finish the paste it just opens the Paste Special dialog box. Video: 30 popular Excel shortcuts in 12 minutes Display the Paste Special dialog box
