» Entering Formulas More Quickly by Shortening Sheet Names

CATEGORY - Working with Formulas VERSION - All Microsoft Excel Versions
Formulas can be long and often take up several rows. Formulas can be made shorter by either using a range's defined Names for the references or shortening the sheet tab names.

To enter long Formulas into a cell more quickly:

1. Rename the sheets to shorter names, such as 1, 2 or 3, to make the formulas shorter.
2. After entering the formulas, change the sheet names back to more meaningful names.
