I have large data entry spreadsheets (10-20 columns) often with one or two

Is there a shortcut key which will effectively act as "ditto" and enter the
value & format from the cell above?
Can I MAKE a short-cut key to do this?
copy/paste and autofill by mouse take too long

Follow the directions in the help file under "Create a Macro".

For step #8, you want "Relative Reference" selected.

For step #9, press the up arrow, select "Copy" from the Edit menu, press the
down arrow, select "Paste" from the Edit menu.

This is based upon the help file for Excel 2003. Your version and help file
text could vary.
