You can use the SHIFT key to select adjacent cells in Excel. Here's how:

  1. Click on the cell that you want to start your selection from.
  2. Hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard.
  3. Click on the last cell in the range of cells that you want to select.

Excel will select all of the cells between the first and last cells that you clicked on. You can also use this method to select multiple ranges of cells that are not next to each other. Simply hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the cells you want to select.
