Excel: Limit/Restrict Scroll Area on an Excel Worksheet

Limit/Restrict Scroll Area on an Excel Worksheet. See Also: Limit/Restrict Excel Scroll Area VBA.

With Excel having 256 Columns and 65536 rows you may wish to limit, or restrict, the area that users can scroll to on your Worksheet. This can be done very easily by hiding all unused columns and rows. Here is how;

Locate the last used row on your worksheet.
Select the row number directly below your last used row so that the entire row is selected.
Hold down the Shift & Ctrl key and then push the down arrow. This will select all rows down to row 65536.
With these rows selected go to Format>Row>Hide
Locate the last used column on your worksheet.
Select the column letter immediately to the right of your last used column so that the entire column is selected.
Hold down the Shift & Ctrl key and then push the right arrow. This will select all columns across to column IV.
With these columns selected go to Format>Column>Hide

You have now hidden all you unused rows and columns. If you wish, you can also go to Tools>Options - View and uncheck the "Row & Column Headers" checkbox.
