How to set up a keyboard shortcut for specific symbol in MS Excel? Let's say euro sign wanted on Ctrl+Alt+e.

A:

An AutoHotKey script can be used to do this. See the following guide.

The euro sign is one of the examples:
!e::
{
SendInput {€}
}
return

A:

There isn't a straightforward way to do this (like there is in Word).
You can, however define a macro:1

(might not be needed) Click the Office button and select Options. Activate Show Developer Options. Close the popup.
Go to the Developer tab and click Macros.
Type in a name (e.g., Euro) and click Create.
Change the code to
Sub Euro()
    Selection.Value = "€"
End Sub

and close the window.
Click options and select a keystroke sequence.
As far as I know, you cannot choose Ctrl + Alt + E.
You could, however, choose Ctrl + Shift + E.
