Moving to Previous Worksheet

Is there a quick way to open the last worksheet you had open prior to the one
you are currently viewing, and toggle between the two sheets? I am looking
for something like the alt+tab command for windows.
 
I'm assuming you do mean Worksheet, as stated, and not Workbook.

Anyway, you can use some code to do this. I've previously done something
like this with the following:

First, create a sheet named "Data". This sheet can be hidden if you'd like.
Next, press Alt+F11 to bring up the VB editor.
Double-click on "ThisWorkbook".
Paste the following code:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetDeactivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Sheets("Data").Range("A2").Value = Sheets("Data").Range("A1").Value
Sheets("Data").Range("A1").Value = ActiveSheet.Name
End Sub

Next, right-click "ThisWorkbook" again and goto "Insert" and then select
"Module".
Paste the following code:

Sub ActivateLastSheet()
Sheets(Sheets("Data").Range("A2").Value).Activate
End Sub

Close the VB Editor window.
From your Excel window, click Tools-Macro-Macros.
Select ActivateLastSheet and then click Options.
In this section you can assign a short-cut key to easily access the code
that activates the previous sheet you were on.


Hope this is helpful.
