The Excel Options dialog box opens showing a list of Popular Commands. Right-click anywhere in the Ribbon and choose Customize Quick Access Toolbar. To make matters worse, when you follow these steps, you have to look for a command called "Select Visible Cells" instead of a command called "Visible Cells Only". But you can't add it by right-clicking in the dialog box. Visible Cells Only is available to add to the QAT. For example, using Alt+ as a shortcut for Visible Cells in the Go To Special dialog box. Sometimes, the command you want can not be right-clicked. The easiest way to add an icon to the QAT is to right-click the icon in the Ribbon and choose Add to Quick Access Toolbar.Īdding Formulas, Calculation Options, Manual to the QAT gives you a clear indication of when your workbook is in Manual calculation mode: The Hard Way to Add to the QAT

To me, a "good" addition to the QAT is a command that you use frequently that is not already on the Home tab. In a Twitter poll in January 2019, I had over 70 suggestions of favorite features that could be added to the QAT. I always like asking people what they have added to their QAT. Ideas is the first feature that was deemed worthy of being on the Home tab.Įven though the Excel team does not think many features are Home-tab-worthy, you can add your favorite features to the Quick Access Toolbar (hereafter called QAT). As I mentioned in Excel 2020: Get Ideas from Artificial Intelligence, the Excel team had not added any new features to the Home tab since January 30, 2007.
