Vertical Scroll encompasses a million rows, most of which are blank
Do the following in the desktop version of Excel.
Select the first entirely blank row by clicking on its row number.
Hold down Shift and drag the 'thumb' of the vertical scroll bar down until you see row 1048576.
Hold down Shift and click on the row number of row 1048576.
This will select everything from the first blank row to the bottom of the worksheet.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Clear > Clear All.
Press Alt+F11 to activate the Visual Basic Editor.
Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window.
Type ActiveSheet.UsedRange and press Enter.
Switch back to Excel and save the workbook.
Does the vertical scroll bar now act normally?
I had this same issue and couldn't solve the issue with all the usual suggestions.
What happend was there was a 'note' that was normally hidden, but for some reason had extended ALL THE WAY DOWN to around row 7000 (when all my data stopped at row 2000, and my 'Last Cell' was in the vicinity).
The way I found it was under the Review tab, select Show Comments and Notes > Show All Notes. You might find something sneaky hidden that way.
