You can also press & hold Alt, then tap Tab, and select a window with the left or right arrow keys, mouse, or touch. Note that in Excel 2016, the shortcut to close the Excel help dialogue box is CTRL + Spacebar + C.Īlt + F4 can also be used outside of Excel – it is a universal shortcut for Windows that will close any application.Press & hold Alt, tap Tab until you get to the window you want to open, then release. However, ALT + F4 will conveniently close this dialogue box – just as quickly as it was opened. While pressing the Escape key will typically close a dialogue box in Excel, in this instance it has no effect. If you are a frequent user of the F2 key, you have likely accidentally pressed F1 – which of course brings up the Excel help dialogue box. We also like ALT + F4 for the following common issue in Excel. Note that in Excel 2013 and later, Alt + F4 will either close the current workbook (if there are many workbooks open), or close the current workbook and Excel itself (if it is the only workbook open).

If you would like to close all workbooks that are open, as well as Excel itself, the shortcut that will achieve this is Alt + F4.

Both CTRL + W and CTRL + F4 will close the current workbook. However, there are many different ways to close workbooks. Most people know that CTRL + N will create a new workbook in Excel. This includes the creation of new workbooks right up to and including the closing of these workbooks – or even the closing of Excel itself. At Marquee, we are strong advocates of using the keyboard for all things Excel.
