When you let go of the scroll bar, Excel would always jump so the top of a cell is at the top of the grid. If you start in A1 and scroll less than halfway through the cell, Excel would jump so you see the top of row 1. If you start in A1 and scroll more than halfway through the cell, Excel would jump so you see the top of row 2.
How to fix the screen won’t scroll in Excel?
For some reason, Excel randomly freezes the panes on these worksheets from time to time. So, when I click on a tab and the screen won’t scroll, the solution is to click on View, select Freeze Panes, and select Unfreeze Panes. Now you’ll be able to scroll in Excel again, like magic.
You could be wondering “What is smooth scrolling in Excel?”
We discovered smooth scrolling means you could scroll and read the entire contents of that cell, slowly, but comfortably, by using the scroll feature. Instead, what excel does now is immediately skip to the next cell, preventing you from being able to read what’s actually contained in the previous cell.
Why can’t I scroll to the next cell in Excel?
Unfortunately, the cells are often large with lots of text. Scrolling is very difficult, because the cell is often clipped by the screen edges, and when you try to scroll, it jumps to the next cell, so you can never see the full cell contents.
Moreover, why can’t I scroll down a formula in Excel?
If the cursor is within the formula itself, you’ll be able to use the scroll function. Based on the screenshot that you’ve provided, the cursor is within the Formula Field, making the scrolling function disabled. The Excel application is detecting an action that’s in process, hence the issue.
Is there a way to scroll down a file in Excel?
No, even if I have just one file open, it still won’t scroll. I click on various cells just be sure (One cell at a time)., and change tabs. Close a file, open a new one., and same thing. I can scroll down using the bar on the side of the screen and using up/down keys.
Another frequently asked inquiry is “How do you scroll all the way through a cell?”.
Prior to the smooth scrolling feature, if you wanted to scroll part of the way through a large cell, you either needed to invest in a precision scrolling mouse or switch to dragging the scroll bars. But even if you could use the scroll bar to scroll halfway through the cell, there was no way to leave the view there.
Can You scroll down using the arrow keys on the keyboard?
