How do you tab between open spreadsheets on Microsoft Excel on a Mac?

Dear Kevin Dawson

Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Since you’ve already tried a few methods, I’d like to share some additional options that may help you switch between open Excel spreadsheets on your Mac more efficiently:

• Trackpad Gestures: Swipe left or right with three fingers to move between open windows quickly.
• Mission Control: Press Control + Up Arrow to activate Mission Control, which displays all open windows, including Excel spreadsheets. From there, you can select the one you need.
• Keyboard Shortcut: Use Command + ~ (tilde) to cycle through open Excel windows without leaving the application.

Please give these methods a try and let me know if they work for you.

The keyboard shortcut to switch between open windows of the same document is Command+ [aka Command+~]. Not though that the OS doesn't support that if either of the windows is in Full Screen View.

You also can use the Window menu or right-click the Excel icon in the Dock to select by name which workbook window to bring to the front.
