this is great, thank you computer guy. I found your website by Googling EXCEL WORKSHEETS SWITCH because I really wanted a shortcut for moving between worksheets and couldn’t believe one didn’t exist, but couldn’t find it in the Excel Help. I tried all your shortcuts and most of them work on my Mac (including the CTRL-PAGE UP and CTRL-PAGE DOWN)

While experimenting I also found that:
CTRL+END – Moves to the last cell of a worksheet
CMD+; – Inserts the current time (cf CTRL+; for current date)

All best — Stephen

I do have the same question that Bowman has. I tried out several things, but did not work yet. Moving to the last worksheet if you are on the first one is something I am looking for. I use GoTo function for this, but it can’t be considered as a shortcut. Let me know if someone can help with this. Thanks!

To switch between 2 workbooks use Ctrl + Tab. It is basically Alt + Tab, but for open workbooks rather than programs.

Hope that helps!

Same problem as Bowman, I need switching to last opened worksheet. And even provided shortcuts are not very handy beacuse CTRL and the PgUp or PgDn buttons I cant push them with one hand so I have to release mouse all the time.

- That’s quite helpful. But I have another question: when I would like to switch back and forward between 2 worksheets (not necessary in consecutive position, eg. Sheet 1 and sheet 20), which shortcut I should use?
