How to navigate in Excel with the direction arrows

 

We open Excel and check that we cannot scroll through the sheets in any sense, this is because a special key on our keyboard prevents the direction arrows from fulfilling their role and is the Scroll Lock key, this key ( Scroll Lock) will make it possible for us to move on the sheet or not.
There are two (identical) ways to validate this.

 

First option
The first is on our physical keyboard to validate the state of said key, if it is active simply deactivate it.

 

Scroll Lock

 

Second option
Another method is to access the Windows virtual keyboard by clicking on the icon on the taskbar and there we validate if the Scroll Lock key is active:

As we see this active, we simply deactivate it:

After this we validate that it is possible to scroll through the Excel spreadsheets:

This simple key can be the cause of different problems when navigating between Excel data..
