Excel TABBING all of a sudden not working right...

[DianeDennis]

Hi Everybody! Happy Friday!

I'm having a tabbing (TAB key) order issue all of a sudden.

I opened a blank worksheet, unlocked columns A through O (all rows), and protected it.

When I try to TAB through the unlocked cells it just repeatedly tabs through the cells in Row 1, Column A through Column O, then back to A1, and over again. It won't drop to the lower rows.

If I select all of the cells that I want it tab through then it'll tab through them in the proper order.

I restarted my computer and I did a repair and the issue persists.

Is there a setting or something that somehow I switched or did something change within the last 24 or so hours or ... ?

Thank you so much!!

Did you select the column headers?

Try to select a specific range instead of the whole columns.

Hi!

Thank you!

Yep, I selected the entire column.

But I just now opened another one and tried it as you suggested by selecting A1 through O1 without selecting the column headers, then SHIFT + CTRL + DOWN ARROW to select all the cells in the columns and unlocked the cells and it's still doing the same thing.

Thank you again!

Select at least one row less than the maximum.
