Undo is the most used functionality in MS Excel, when we are entering any data in our excel sheet we sometimes make small mistakes, so to clear that one step mistake we use Undo.

Shortcut for using undo is 'Ctrl+Z'. Undo is located in quick access toolbar.

In quick access toolbar we will see undo icon, beside which there will be a small down arrow, when we hover on that it will show us that which particular action we want to undo.

Similarly redo icon is there in right of undo which is used to undo the action done by undo.

One thing which should be kept in mind while using undo and redo option is that we can only use this functionality while we're doing data entry. If we have done any mistake in sheet tab than it can't be undo or redo.
