Office Computing Overview

Although you may still remember the direction and drag the scroll bar to return to the current cell, usually this is the most inefficient way.

The above method is only effective in case you are working with a small spreadsheet, or in case you just moved a bit. There is another way to return to the current cell, apply when you still remember the cell address, that is, press the Ctrl + G key and then enter the cell address and click OK (or press Enter ). In most cases, you will not remember the cell address, but that is not so important because there is a shortcut to return to the current cell from anywhere in the same spreadsheet, it is Ctrl + Backspace. Note, if you use the keyboard shortcut without seeing the scroll screen, it means that the current cell is still within view. In addition, each sheet has its own active cell, so you cannot use the keyboard shortcut to jump to the current worksheet cell.
