PLEASE HELP - Excel Horizontal Scroll Not Working

Hello all:

 

I have an excel workbook that is many columns wide. I am on a Macbook Pro, Office 365.

 

Scroll lock is *not* on, please do not suggest I turn it off.

 

I can scroll in other workbooks.

 

On this workbook, if I am selecting cells and trying to scroll horizontally, it won't continue the horizontal scroll beyond what is visual on screen. I am extremely annoyed, please help.

 

Thank-you,

Carl

    Try any/all of the following:

    • remove filters
    • unfreeze panes
    • Change from Normal view to Page Break Preview then back to Normal
    • Close/Re-open the application

      Patrick2788 , unfreezing panes re-enabled scrolling. I could then refreeze frames and continue scrolling.

      Using Excel Version 16.73 on Mac.

       

      Thanks!

      Thanks for your help.

       

      Didn't have any filters to remove or panes to unfreeze, and I'd already closed and opened the app.

       

      BUT

       

      For whatever reason - is there a reason or is this just a glitch in the matrix? - your suggestion to move from normal to page break to normal worked - THANK YOU.

       

      Cheers!

        It happens every now and then.  When it happens, "refresh" the view any way you can.
