# **Select to the last filled cell**

<dl><dt>**Windows**</dt>
<dd>`Ctrl+Shift+Down`</dd>
<dt>**Mac**</dt>
<dd>`Cmd+Shift+Down`</dd>

Ctrl+Shift+Down

Extends the selection to the edge of the data, the same jump as Ctrl+Down but selecting everything on the way. The fastest way to select a whole column of data, however long.
