How to take screenshot in Excel: shortcut, sheet, cell

Among its wide array of features, Microsoft Excel allows you to take screenshots of data cells in your spreadsheet so that you can present your information in a way that is cleaner and easier to read. Although these screenshots are saved as static images and will not be updated if information changes, this feature is extremely versatile and can be easily transferred to other Office software (such as Word, PowerPoint, or Outlook) for further use.
