Here are a few potential fixes for Excel scrolling issues that stop you from scrolling through spreadsheets as you would usually expect.
How can I fix an Excel file that doesn’t scroll?
1. Select the Unfreeze Panes options
2. Restore missing scroll bars
3. Is the Shift key stuck?
You can’t scroll down windows with the Shift key pressed. So, it might be worth checking if the Shift key is in any way jammed. If so, you probably won’t be able to scroll down in other software along with Excel. The best way to fix jammed keys is to clean the keyboard by shaking it upside down and blowing the keys with compressed air duster cleaners.
4. Deselect the Zoom on roll with IntelliMouse option
So, those are some of the best resolutions for fixing Excel spreadsheet scrolling. Remember that you can also open the file that doesn’t scroll in Excel within an alternative spreadsheet application. One of our readers said that he manage to fix the problem by selecting all the cells in the spreadsheet and making the automatic height adjustment. The spreadsheet will probably scroll fine in applications such as LibreOffice Calc.
