MS Excel: The Quick Way to Turn Formula AutoComplete On or Off

By now I’m sure that you’ve used or last seen Excel’s formula autocomplete.

While you could go to the File tab / Options choice to turn it on or off, it’s much faster to do it right in the worksheet.

All you have to do is use Alt + Down Arrow while in a cell of the worksheet.

This is a toggle combination so Alt + Down Arrow again will turn it back on.

On – Off – On – Off… it’s as simple as a key combination without a single trip to the Options dialog.
