Function keys allow you to do things with your keyboard instead of your mouse to increase your speed. The function keys ranges from F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | F5 | F6 | F7 | F8 | F9 | F10 | F11 | F12.

Examples and Uses  of  Excel F1 – F12 Function keys

F1

F2

Moves the insertion point to the end of the contents of the active cell. For example, select cell B6 below and press F2.

Note: turn off Allow editing directly in cells (File, Options, Advanced, Editing Options) and pressing F2 will move the insertion point to the formula bar.

F3

Displays the Paste Name dialog box. For example, select cell E2 below, type =SUM(, press F3 and select a name.
