Excel block move
If you're experiencing issues with Excel's display after cutting a block of data, you can try a few different methods to correct it:
- Use the Keyboard Shortcut: After cutting the data with Ctrl + X, press Ctrl + Home. This keyboard shortcut will return the active cell to the top-left corner of the worksheet.
- Scroll to the Top: If Ctrl + Home doesn't work for you, you can manually scroll back to the top-left corner of the worksheet. You can do this by using the scroll bars on the right and bottom of the Excel window or by using the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate back to the top-left corner.
- Zoom Out and Zoom In: Sometimes, resetting the zoom level can help correct display issues. You can try zooming out (Ctrl + -) and then zooming back in (Ctrl + +) to reset the display.
- Check Worksheet Settings: Make sure that the worksheet is not frozen or split. If it is, unfreeze or remove the split to return to the normal view.
- Save and Reopen the Workbook: If none of the above solutions work, try saving the workbook, closing Excel completely, and then reopening the workbook. This can sometimes reset display issues.
- Restart Excel: If the problem persists, try closing and reopening Excel. Sometimes, restarting the application can resolve display issues. The text was created with the help of AI.
If none of these methods resolve the issue, it's possible that there may be a more complex problem with the Excel workbook or your system configuration.

If you need to return the active cell to the top-left corner of the block of data that was cut, rather than the top-left corner of the worksheet, you can follow these steps:
After cutting the data with Ctrl + X, press Ctrl + Home to return to the top-left corner of the worksheet.
Navigate to the top-left corner of the block of data that was cut using the arrow keys on your keyboard or by scrolling if necessary.
Once the active cell is positioned at the top-left corner of the block of data, you can proceed with pasting the data or performing any other actions needed.
This way, you'll ensure that the active cell is returned to the top-left corner of the specific block of data that was cut, rather than the top-left corner of the entire worksheet.
- The real issue is that for a while after cutting with Ctrl-X the the active cell at the left hand corner of the block of data is automatically restored and displayed. Then something happens and the system no longer returns to the active cell but remains displaying the the lowest row of the selected block. At this point this new operation is permanently associated with this workbook. What caused this change and can the original operation be restored? is there a way to send you copies showing you both operations?
