I have a Excel 2010 workbook that is shared by other users who periodically update various cells. Is there a shortcut key, like F5 with most web browsers, that updates the document with any changes that have been made since I opened the workbook?



The following do not work:




  • F5

  • F9

  • SHFT + F9

  • CTRL + ALT + F9

  • CTRL + ALT + SHFT F9

          Create a macro



          Sub Makro1()
          ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll
          End Sub


          Assing keyboard shortcut to the macro

            Hitting Save works, as long as you are careful not to save anything you didn't want.



            It's definitely odd that f5 doesn't refresh in Excel.

            Alt + A, R, R or A in sequence will refresh the data.

              Use Review, Track Changes, check Track changes while editing, and select the options you want.

                The OP was asking how to refresh data. I don't remember using a shared spreadsheet that also had data to refresh, but I suppose you could unshare, refresh, then re-share(?).

                                The OP was asking how to refresh data. I don't remember using a shared spreadsheet that also had data to refresh, but I suppose you could unshare, refresh, then re-share(?).
