PART I
Can I undo more than one
action at a time?
Yes. Click the drop-down
arrow (
) beside the
Undo button (
) to
display the list of actions
you can undo. Click the
oldest action you want to
undo, and Excel undoes
all the actions from the
oldest one you select to
the latest, showing you the
worksheet at the point in
time before you took any
of those actions.
Can I redo more than one
action at a time?
Yes. The Redo feature
works the same way as the
Undo feature. To be able
to redo more than one
action at a time, you must
undo multiple actions
before you redo them.
Then, click
beside the
Redo button (
) to
display a list of actions you
can redo. Click the oldest
action, and Excel redoes all
the actions from the oldest
to the latest.
Why is the Redo button
unavailable when the Undo
button is available?
Excel keeps track of all
actions you take in all open
workbooks and makes
those actions available to
undo until you close Excel.
The Redo button (
)
button will not be available
unless there are actions to
redo, and actions to redo
do not become available
until you undo an action. If
you then click
to redo
the action you undid, then
becomes unavailable
because there are no more
actions to redo.

Excel reverses the effect
of undoing an action
by adding back your
last one. In this
example, Excel
reapplies italics.
