Can't focus in your workbook? Do your eyes swim when presented with rows and rows of data? Lose your place every time you look up from your screen?
Same here. Lucky for us, Microsoft just released Focus Cell, a new Excel tool that will help us stay on track and keep us from getting lost in the sheets!! Focus Cell will automatically highlight the row and column of our current active cell, making it super easy for us to hone in on which data point we're looking at.
To activate Focus Cell, all we have to do is navigate to the View tab and select Focus Cell from the Show section. Now when we select any cell in our spreadsheet, Excel will automatically highlight the row and column that cell lives in. We can also customize the color of the highlight! We'll just open the Focus Cell dropdown, open Focus Cell Color, and select our favorite shade.
Not in the mood to focus? No problem. We can easily turn this feature off by clicking the Focus Cell command again. Try it out and let us know what you think!
