How can you open the Excel help feature?

Pressing F1 on your keyboard is a quick and universal method to access the Excel help feature. This function is standard across many software applications, including Microsoft Excel, and it opens the dedicated help window or menu, allowing users to search for answers to their questions, access tutorials, and find guidance on various features within Excel. This approach provides immediate access without needing to navigate through menus or remember specific commands, making it efficient for users seeking assistance.

While right-clicking or using icons in the Ribbon can lead to help or support in certain contexts, these methods may not be as direct or universally applicable as the F1 key. Selecting Help from the File menu is another viable option, but it typically involves one or two additional steps compared to the simplicity and immediacy of using the F1 key.
