Horizontal Scroll Wheel Useless in Excel?
Try hovering the mouse over the horizontal scroll bar in excel, then using your side to side wheel.
Once I do this, the mouse wheel to horizontally scroll works everywhere in the spreadsheet.
This just goes to show you that when something isn't working, angrily flinging your mouse around the screen and clicking the mouse button harder does work! 🙂
I hope this helps you, sorry if it gives you false hope.
For reference, I'm using a Logitech M720 Triathlon bluetooth mouse. Your method worked. How bizarre.
AggieChris holyshoot this works. Thanks mate!
I'm almost going crazy. I thought it's something to do with the Windows. But after installing a brand new Windows (fresh install win 10, I was using win 7 upgrade before) and it keeps happening (only scroll once then it fails to respond), i thought it's a product defect.
Tempted to buy MX Master 3 but i'm affraid it will have the same shortcoming with the previous S2 that i'm using
Valmighty I have the MX Master 3 and had the same issue which led me to this discussion posting. It must be a software issue. The hovering over the scroll bar and using the horizontal wheel fixed it for me as well.
- Hi, can u explain who u are resolving that problem with ur me? I search too but not finding...thx
- Nice! I'm glad it helped!🙂 Spread the word of you see anyone else ask. I posted it to a couple of places.
AggieChris Nice! I will let the others know.
Sometimes it doesn't work though. When it doesn't, I alt+tab, use the horizontal scroll, and alt+tab back, and it works. So it has 2 workarounds that guaranteed work. Do you know why this happen? My friend has this exact same MX Master 2s and it works fine without these workarounds 😞
