Excel keyboard navigation Jun11 '06
Microsoft Excel is great for managing large amounts of data. The problem is, sometimes it’s very tedious to navigate that data, especially when you are dealing with hundreds or thousands of rows.
Here are some quick navigation shortcuts, using the Control key:
- Control + Up Arrow brings you to the top of the current column.
- Control + Down Arrow brings you to the bottom of the current column - or the last available record.
- Control + Home brings you to the very top left - cell A1.
- Control + End brings you to the very bottom right, depending on where your data ends.
These keyboard shortcuts will greatly eliminate the need to constantly scroll up and down. With a quick keyboard combination, you are instantly at the top, or bottom, of the entire spreadsheet, or column.
This screen recording illustrates how swiftly you can "jump around" an Excel document. No more scrolling or dragging!
