An unexpected handy trick in Excel (and Google Docs): right… face!

Everyone who uses Excel or Google Docs in their daily work knows that when you fill in a cell and press Enter, the active cell becomes the one below the cur­rent one (the next one in the column, not in the row). But we often fill in doc­u­ments along a row, not down a column, prob­a­bly because we read left to right, not top to bottom :)

Attention! I’ve just dis­cov­ered a little life­hack for moving along a row con­ve­niently while you work: all you have to do is select the whole row first, and then Enter moves you to the right, not down.

As far as I remem­ber, you can also reas­sign the Enter key’s behav­ior alto­gether so that it always works like this, but you’ll agree that my way is more flex­i­ble and can come in handy :)
