The shortcut ALT+H+O+F applies a filter to a range of cells in Excel. To use this shortcut, first select the range of cells you want to filter. Then, press ALT+H+O+F. This will open the Filter dialog box. In the Filter dialog box, you can select the criteria you want to use to filter the data. Once you have selected the criteria, click OK to apply the filter.

Here are the steps in detail:

  1. Select the range of cells you want to filter.
  2. Press ALT+H+O+F.
  3. In the Filter dialog box, select the criteria you want to use to filter the data.
  4. Click OK to apply the filter.

Here is an example of how to use the shortcut to filter a range of cells by a specific value:

  1. Select the range of cells A1:D10.
  2. Press ALT+H+O+F.
  3. In the Filter dialog box, select the checkbox next to "Equals".
  4. In the text box below "Equals", type the value you want to filter by. In this example, we will type "100".
  5. Click OK to apply the filter.

After you have applied the filter, only the cells that meet the criteria will be visible. In this example, only the cells that contain the value "100" will be visible.

You can also use the Filter dialog box to filter data by multiple criteria. To do this, select the criteria you want to use in the first row of the Filter dialog box, and then select the criteria you want to use in the second row. You can continue to add rows as needed.

Here is an example of how to use the Filter dialog box to filter data by multiple criteria:

  1. Select the range of cells A1:D10.
  2. Press ALT+H+O+F.
  3. In the Filter dialog box, select the checkbox next to "Equals" in the first row.
  4. In the text box below "Equals", type the value you want to filter by. In this example, we will type "100".
  5. Select the checkbox next to "Greater Than" in the second row.
  6. In the text box below "Greater Than", type the value you want to filter by. In this example, we will type "50".
  7. Click OK to apply the filter.

After you have applied the filter, only the cells that meet both criteria will be visible. In this example, only the cells that contain the value "100" and that are greater than the value "50" will be visible.
