Canceling a Command

Summary: Need to cancel a command you've already started? It is as easy as pressing a single keystroke. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, Excel 2003, and Excel 2007.)

If you start to perform a command or action within Excel, you may want to cancel it before it finishes. To do this, the general rule is to simply press the Esc key. This should cancel any command or action that Excel is processing. It is also interesting to note that you can press Esc to close most every dialog box that may pop up in Excel.

ExcelTips is your source for cost-effective Microsoft Excel training. This tip (3319) applies to Microsoft Excel versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
