Can you navigate in an Excel worksheet without scrolling? My datafile is very
long and I'd like to go from last names starting with A to names starting M.
 
Hi

You could select the whole column and do a Find (Ctrl F) for M* with
'Find Entire Cells Only' selected.
 
One quick way to get where you want is to:

1)Select the column with the names.

2)Press [Ctrl]+F. (or Edit>Find)

3)Enter the beginning of what you're looking for followed by and asterisk:
Example: Names beginning with G would be entered G*

4)Click the box to "Match entire contents of cell"

5)Click OK

Excel will bring you to the 1st name beginning with G.

I hope that helps.

Regards,
Ron
