To apply a filter to a range of cells in Excel using the ALT + H + O + F shortcut, follow these steps:

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

For example, if you want to filter the data so that only the cells that contain the value "Apple" are displayed, you would select the "Text Filters" category in the Filter dialog box, and then select the "Equals" option. In the "Value" field, you would type "Apple".

Once you have applied the filter, only the cells that meet the criteria that you specified will be displayed. You can clear the filter by clicking the "Clear Filter" button in the Filter dialog box.

Here are some additional keyboard shortcuts that you may find helpful when working with filters in Excel:

  • To select all of the cells in the current column, press CTRL + SPACEBAR.
  • To select all of the cells in the current row, press SHIFT + SPACEBAR.
  • To select all of the cells in the current worksheet, press CTRL + A.
  • To deselect a cell or range of cells, press CTRL + SPACEBAR or SHIFT + SPACEBAR again.
  • To clear the filter from a range of cells, click the "Clear Filter" button in the Filter dialog box.
