Hi,
I am struggling to figure out shortcuts in Excel on my Chromebook.
The basic CTRL+ C,Z, etc work but I don't know how to make the F functions to work.
I got a keyboard but it's reacting in excel.
I really need them and don't want to get another laptop. I've browsed all over the internet and forums for help, can't figure it out.
I am paying for the whole Office package so would be great to have a full version of it.
HELP PLEASE!
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi Jan, thank you for your response!
I am not using Excel Sheets, if that's what you mean?
I downloaded Microsoft Office on the PlayStore so use Excel as a separate application. It looks like the Excel that I have always used, but perhaps more basic. Can you write macros or do any serious modelling on this on a chrome book?
The keyboard I purchased is just a standard Microsoft wireless keyboard 2000. The missing function that bothers me the most for now is not being able to lock cells with F4 or edit using F2 or CTRL+1 for formatting- I have to manually go in and do it.
I seem to have some of the right click functions with the wireless keyboard and mouse, but it's super basic.
It would be such a shame to have to buy a new laptop, I only got this one recently.
Thank you!

@SofiaB Hmm, I do not own a Chrome book but I guess this is a more basic version of Excel, without access to quite some features, unfortunately this includes VBA.
