Tabs in Excel Online worksheet move unexpectedly
SergeiBaklan Doesn't matter if the sheets are protected. The tabs still move. Another thing that happens is that even though I save and save the spreadsheet on a specific tab and for it to open at the top (ie, show from cell A1), the sheet(s) will ultimately open way over in blank cells like CD55. Neither spreadsheet has more than 15 tabs. So far I am not very impressed with online Excel. Too many features are lacking and the collaboration portion has caused more stress and jumping through hoops.
kstone7_iuh I've been having the same problem (tabs moving around, yes... but more importantly, the focus cell randomly moving to a blank area of the sheet) pretty much since Day 1 of using Excel Online (probably around 6 years ago).
Honestly, I can deal with the tabs moving around--not ideal, but also just a minor annoyance. Luckily none of my tabs' positions are critical to the functionality of the workbook. And it doesn't seem to be as prevalent a problem as before, so it seems like they've at least tried to fix this.
However, the fact that every time I move to a different tab, then move back to the tab I was just on and suddenly I'm in a cell several hundred rows below where I just was two seconds ago is infuriating and such a waste of my time. I'm constantly scrolling up and over or hitting Ctrl+Up to find my place again.
Microsoft, please develop a fix for this NOW!
