How to remove vlookup formula shortcut key?

Just to be clear: you can't have accidentally "turned on" a VLOOKUP shortcut in Excel's main settings because, as mentioned, it's not a standard feature. If you are using a third-party tool or a heavily customized corporate template, check that add-in's documentation. People often create custom Quick Access Toolbar buttons for VLOOKUP, and those buttons can sometimes be assigned a shortcut using the Alt key combined with a number. For the vast majority of users, you simply access the VLOOKUP function by going to the Formulas tab, selecting Lookup & Reference, and then choosing VLOOKUP. If you are getting a formula from a single key press, it's almost certainly a user-created macro.

That is a tricky question because VLOOKUP does not have a native, built-in keyboard shortcut key in Microsoft Excel! You likely haven't found a shortcut key because it doesn't exist. VLOOKUP is a function, and you use it by typing it directly into a cell, usually starting with =VLOOKUP(. If you are hitting a key combination that is inserting the VLOOKUP formula, there are two likely scenarios: 1. You have a Macro or Add-in: Someone (or a template you're using) has created a custom macro in Excel that uses a keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl + Shift + V or something similar) to quickly paste the VLOOKUP function. 2. You are Auto-Completing: You might be typing =V and then hitting Tab to let Excel complete the function name. This isn't a shortcut key to remove the formula, just a shortcut to insert it. ### To "Remove" a VLOOKUP Shortcut: * If it's a Macro: You'll need to go into the Developer tab (or View > Macros > View Macros) and edit the specific macro to remove the assigned shortcut key, or simply delete the macro entirely if you don't need it. * If you just want to remove the formula from a cell: Select the cell and hit Delete or Backspace. That will clear the cell content, formula included!
