Excel keyboard shortcuts

Repeat the last action

Windows
F4
Mac
Cmd+Y

Repeats the last thing you did, such as inserting a row, applying a fill color or deleting a column, on the cells you have selected now. It works only while you are not editing a cell, because in edit mode F4 toggles absolute references instead.
