Limit or Restrict Scroll Area on an Excel Worksheet. See Also: Limit/Restrict Scroll Area on an Excel Worksheet Non VBA Solution.
With the aid of Excel VBA and the Worksheet Selection Event we can restrict the scrollable area on any Excel Worksheet. The code below must be placed in the Private Module of the Worksheet Object. To get their quickly, right click on the Sheet name tab and choose View Code. In here paste the code below. It will restrict the scroll area to only those cells which house data. Note it leaves one extra row and column. This is so more data can be added and the scrollable area is automatically expanded.
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim LastColumn As Integer
Dim LastRow As Long
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Cells) > 0 Then
'Search for any entry, by searching backwards by Rows.
LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
If LastRow <> 65536 Then LastRow = LastRow + 1
'Search for any entry, by searching backwards by Columns.
LastColumn = Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=[A1], _
SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, _
SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column
If LastColumn <> 256 Then LastColumn = LastColumn + 1
Me.ScrollArea = Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(LastRow, LastColumn)).Address
Else
Me.ScrollArea = ""
End If
End Sub

SearchOrder:=xlByRows, _
