Step by step

  1. Install LightningXL

    Download LightningXL, then follow the instructions. Setup takes about two minutes.

  2. Select what to act on

    Click a cell, or select the range the command should apply to.

  3. Tap Option, then type H U M

    Tap ⌥ on its own to show the keytips, then H for Home, U for AutoSum, M for Max.

What Alt H U M does

Max sits under Home › AutoSum on the Excel ribbon. On Windows, Alt H U M runs it from the keyboard. Excel for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through Home › AutoSum › Max instead.
