Adding Bullets in an Excel Worksheet
Adding Bullets in an Excel Worksheet. When my manager prepares spreadsheets and shares them with me, I’ve noticed that certain cells contain a small black dot at the start of the cell. This dot appears right at the beginning, isn’t a perfect circle, and aligns with the left cell border. I’m curious about what this signifies and, more importantly, how I can remove it.
In Excel, there are numerous bullet styles available. Let’s clarify with a simple example:
To incorporate bullet points in an Excel sheet, adhere to the following steps:
Choose the desired cell in Excel.
Press the keyboard shortcut Alt+0149.
Kindly note: This shortcut functions when the numbers are pressed on the numeric keypad, not the top row of the keyboard. If you’re using a laptop, you might need to activate the number keypad function using a special key on your keyboard.
For Bullets and Numbering:
When you want to insert notes into an Excel worksheet, you can utilize a Text Box to input the text. Here’s how you can insert a Text Box and incorporate bullet points:
Navigate to the “Insert” tab.
Within the “Text” group, click on “Text Box.”
