» Shortcuts to see the Help for the Syntax Function in Microsoft Excel

Experienced Excel users prefer to type formulas directly into a cell, in the formula bar. This is a good technique for skilled users who are familiar with the syntax of formulas (where to place commas and parentheses, the order of arguments, and more). If you are not sure of the syntax of the formula, type = and the name of the function, and then press Ctrl+Shift+A. You will now see the syntax of the function.
