The Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology is holding their annual conference in Orlando June 26-28, 2023. I will be presenting a half-day pre-conference session on Sunday June 25, 2023 from 8 AM to 1 PM.

Microsoft Excel Tutorial – How to draw a line through text.
Some people call it Strikethrough. Others call it crossing out text.
How can you do it in Microsoft Excel.

This short video starts with a memory aid about taking inventory with a mechanical pencil and making hashmarks. You might start with |||| to mean 4. After the 4th vertical hashmark, you cross out the lines to indicate 5. It is the 5th line that crosses the others out. This is how I remember that Ctrl+5 is Strikethrough!
