Selecting Multiple Ranges

Say you want to format more than one range in a certain way (as currency, for example). The quickest way is to select all ranges at once and then format them all at once.

To select more than one range:

Select the first range, press the Ctrl key, select the second range, press the Ctrl key, select the third range, and so on.

For example, to select the ranges B2:D5 and F2:H5, click on B2, hold down the Shift key and click on D5 (so now the first range is selected), hold down the Ctrl key and click on F2, and finally hold down the Shift key and click on H5.

Try it! Select all three numerical ranges shown.
