Not being sarcastic, but if you saw the question you should have seen the
answer I'm sorry if it isn't the one you would prefer to have but it's
the only accurate one there is.

i don't know from where u got the ^U, it works yes ...

"We" got it from MS - that's the stroke that was assigned in the first
version of Excel when it was originally released for the Mac. It wasn't
until the program was ported to the Windows OS that things started getting
changed. Many folks don't realize that the core MS applications originated
on the Mac before Windows existed.

do u have any more shortcuts for pulling the menu down ( like an Alt+F for
the file menu ) ????

That's a design decision by Apple - Mac OS doesn't support that feature.

the filtering system is also not as good as the MS Office 2007 ( for PC )
further,

No, it isn't. There were many features introduced in the 2007 Windows
version which because of time & budget constraints as well as other
considerations have not yet made it to the Mac version... many of them
possibly never will. If you have "favorites" you'd like to see in Mac Excel
use Help> Send Feedback to support your request. But by the same token
there's virtually nothing you can do in Win Excel to customize strokes -
it's give & take.

if u notice the save as ( shift + CMD+S ) shortcut on the file menu
appears some times .. else not ...

I'm not sure what you mean here... It certainly doesn't come & go in any one
program's menu. That is a standard stroke assignment in most Mac
applications. I don't know that I've ever seen it indicated in Excel's menu
although some programs do include it - perhaps that's what you mean. I
really don't know the basis for the developer's decision but my gut feeling
is that it's purely subjective based on whether the design team considers
the app to be one in which Save As is heavily used. I guess the Excel team
figured it wasn't a priority for Workbooks.
