For Excel 2016 for the Mac: Under the new Mac OS (Catalina) toggling absolute and relative references is now Command-T, not F4. And you need to put your cursor in the formula line; you can't simply select the cell.

Re: Excel 2016 for Mac What is the keyboard shortcut to switch between two (or more) open workbooks? I am NOT asking about workSHEETS. I AM referring to workBOOKS. THE FOLLOWING DO NOT WORK TO SWITCH BETWEEN 2 (OR MORE) OPEN 'EXCEL 2016 FOR MAC' WorkBOOKS: Cmd+PageUp/PageDown Cmd+Tab Cmd+ArrowLeft/ArrowRight *** CTRL+PageUp/PageDown CTRL+Tab CTRL+ArrowLeft/ArrowRight *** Option+PageUp/PageDown Option+Tab Option+ArrowLeft/ArrowRight *** Anyone have a keyboard shortcut that works to switch between two (2) or more 'Excel 2016 for Mac' WorkBOOKS? Thanks!

In a PC you can use Alt+Tab to move between all programs open, including several Excel books. I don't know if it works for Mac, sorry
