The tutor shares an observation about typing the forward slash in Excel 2016.<\/h1>\n<p>I went to type a forward slash (as a character, not part of a formula) at the lead of a statement in a cell using Excel 2016, but I couldn&#8217;t. That&#8217;s because, in my experience, typing the forward slash in a cell activates shortcut keys for the menu items across the top.<\/p>\n<p>To type a slash (as a character) in a cell, here&#8217;s what I do:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select the cell in which I want it.<\/li>\n<li>Click in the separate text box above the cells.<\/li>\n<li>Type what I want, then press Enter. The text, slash and all, appears in the cell.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Cheers:)<\/p>\n<p>Source:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/220869\/how-to-enable-typing-slashes-in-cells-in-excel\/\">www.howtogeek.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using Excel can mean self-tutoring.
