How to make the "times" or "multiply" symbol in...

I can't seem to find the "Times" key on a macbook pro 13 inch, please help

Times, multiply by, is either an X or the star *. Surely you can type one of those 2 characters.

4 X 2 = 8     4 * 2 = 8

The Office for Mac forums are here as it's Microsoft's sofware you're having issues with:

shift + number 8 = * which is the times symbol for excel.

You use "*" which is SHIFT-8 on the US keyboard.

Times, multiply by, is either an X or the star *. Surely you can type one of those 2 characters.

4 X 2 = 8     4 * 2 = 8

I have a hungarian macbook pro. pls help me how to find the multiplicator button on the keyboard.

thx

We don't use "*" (that's just star) or "x" [ex] in Europe. The correct symbol is "×", so the question wasn't answered at all. To answer, there is no shortcut for it. In MS Word, you need to go to "Insert" tab, then "Symbols", find the symbol and create shortcut. I use "ctrl+x" as it looks similar as "x".

Then ask in the Microsoft forums as already suggested in this 4 year old thread. Excel is still not an Apple product.

Apparently the original poster thought that this did resolve the issue as they marked it "Solved". And, the original poster also didn't say that they were in Europe. The asterisk will work in Excel. Where you'll find that on your keyboard depends on which of the many possible European languages you use.
