Navigating to the end of a large Excel spreadsheet can be a time-consuming task, especially if you're dealing with extensive data sets.
Learning keyboard shortcuts and other techniques can significantly speed up this process, ensuring efficiency and productivity in your data management tasks.
In the following sections, we'll explore various methods to reach the end of an Excel sheet and discuss how Sourcetable offers a more streamlined solution for navigating large datasets.
To jump to the last filled cell in Excel or Google Sheets, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Arrow key. This will take you to the edge of the dataset in the direction of the arrow key used.
To reach the bottom right cell of a sheet, press Ctrl + End. To return to the top left cell, use Ctrl + Home. These shortcuts quickly navigate to the sheet's extremes, regardless of filled cells.
While Smartsheet doesn't have a direct equivalent to jump to the last filled cell, Ctrl + End and Ctrl + Home will take you to the last row or column and back to the beginning of the sheet, respectively.
