In the last post we discussed how to activate the edit mode for the active cell using a keyboard shortcut. From this post you can learn how to access the formula bar in Excel 2013 using the keyboard. Here are the steps to follow.
Click on the “File” menu.
Then click on the “Options”
Go to “Advanced” tab and remove tick from the “Allow editing directly in cells”
Now the cursor will jump to the formula bar when you press F2 on the keyboard.
