PLEASE HELP - Excel Horizontal Scroll Not Working
Hi carlj2265
Hello all,
I have this same problem too, and already searching for a very long time for a solution!! In all forums/Uservoices/TechCommunities i read, i see that MS does not come out with a(ny) feasable solution (or comment).
The big issue is: this worked very good (and so simple) in former Windows versions (just using Shift or Ctrl-Shift + scroll with a normal mouse up or down, couldn't be more simple, that was the perfect solution).
I also (specially for this issue!) bought the Microsoft Arc mouse, but same issue, no horizontal scrolling in Excel, even with their own special horizontal scrolling mouse... mind-boggling...
What is also very troubling (and mind-boggling) is that for some people the Shift (or Shift-Control) works with Horizontal scrolling in Excel with a regular mouse, and for others this is not possible... completely not logical ! And another thing is: on Mac completely no issue with horizontal scrolling with Apple mouse !!!! Try to get some logic in that.... MS-logic?.... I don't get it... And especially since so many people already wrote about this on all kinds of forums & communities....
I also found info here, but still no solution... https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/excel-how-to-scroll-horizontally/5f9fb0ae-467...
Is there somewhere any sensible solution or explanation why this is not working, and when is MS going to do something about this (since this worked before) ??!
Best regards,
Nick

Just seeing the alternate method you posted (CTRL+SHIFT+MOUSE wheel) worked for me. Everywhere else said to use only SHIFT+MOUSE wheel. The latter failed for me, so when I found your post, I added the CTRL key and it work beautifully! Thank you!!

Yannic_BelgiumI right-clicked on the scroll bar and clicked on "Scroll Right" and seemed to get more space to scroll back and forth.
Really more of a workaround than a solution but maybe you could try it and see if it works for you.
