Now I am german, english speaking, living in Ukraine and learning ukrainian as 3rd language, that's still some challenge for the windows world. I have but to say I am german, have a Ukrainian Laptop with (most probably russian) Windows set to english, (still always russian comments popping up, so I guess it is a russian windows they sold me) - english set Excel 365 and 3 languages permanently in use on an dual language qwerty english keyboard (especially with imprints for the ukrainian language) and using the Microsoft Keyboard Layout creator for adjusting some keys from russian use to ukrainian. With me sometimes it works just fine but sometimes it does not. So, sometimes, it can be useful to try a mentionned shortcut from the online help in both combinations (Shifted/Unshifted) depending from the keyboard you for the answer. But from an en_US keyboard layouts' perspective, Ctrl+Shift+# is correct. This is due to that # is on a german keyboard reachable without pressing the shift key. This does not work, I have to use Ctrl+#.

Therefore, the mentionned shortcuts (keystrokes) can lead to confusion and may be appear as incorrect. There is a note about this on the top of the article. I already reported this to the MS localization team and they are going to check this.Īnother problem in the online help article for the shortcuts (at least for German) is, that the shortcuts always refer to an English US keyboard. So, in this case, it's for now an error in online help article regarding Ctrl+Semicolon.įor Excel 2016, there are some more errors in the Online Help Article for the German shortcuts, such as some Alt shortcuts, for example Alt+M which opens the Tell Me Box instead of the formulas tab. For inputting the current date in an empty cell, I can use Ctrl+Dot as known from previous versions. I have Excel 2016 in German and I am using a german keyboard.
