Repair the schedule
F2 edits inside the cell — and Ctrl+Z is what saves you when the note is wrong.
A review came back on the headcount schedule: one team name is misspelled, one FY formula is pointing at the wrong row, and the Total never grew to cover the last line. Repair all three. Then there is the sweep note at the top — do what it says, and watch what happens to the total you just fixed.
The shortcuts in this drill
F2⌃U · fn F2 on macEdit the active cell (cursor at the end)
Edit-in-place lights up every cell a formula touches — the first move when a number looks wrong.
Ctrl+Z⌘Z on macUndo
Delete big, undo, keep what deserved to stay — the undo stack is deep, and working fearlessly is faster than working carefully.
functions you'll type: SUM()
The optimal line
the par-setting sequence, straight through:
F2 the misspelled label at A5 · repoint E6 at its own row · stretch the Total at E8 · clear SCRATCH A (B11:C13) → ctrl+z → clear SCRATCH B (B16:C18)
