Ctrl+V: This is one of the most used shortcut keys used in conjunction with Ctrl+C. This shortcut key is used to paste the selected content.
One important point to keep in mind while pasting the content is
If the selected content or calculation is a formulated one then before pasting it to another excel sheet it must be value pasted, to neutralize the effect of the formula.
For example :
Now If I will copy the "E" column and paste it into the "F" column it will give me the incorrect number, while If the column "E" is selected and the value pastes to column "G" it will give me the correct number.
Ctrl+F: There are 3 different use of this function.
In the browser, the Ctrl+F key is useful when we have to find a word or number. In the computer browser by Pressing Ctrl+F you will see a search box in the top right-hand corner in which you can use the word or number you are looking for and the result will be highlighted.
In excel, the Ctrl+F shortcut key can be used either to "find" or to "find and replace" a word, character, or number. Pressing the command, Ctrl+F will open a dialogue box that offers 2 options whether to find a world or to replace the word. You can choose either of them as per your requirement.
Below is the visual example:

However, in outlook, the Ctrl+F function is used to forward email.
Ctrl+N: This shortcut is often used to open a new browser window, excel sheet, or the new document. The word "N" in the Ctrl+N command denotes "New".
