Is there a keyboard equivalent of the Windows Excel: Ctrl+Home which takes you to cell A1?

Thanks

    Using a laptop or other 'condensed' keyboard? If so, in order to get the left arrow key to work as the Home key you need to use the fn key as well, so the stroke would be: fn+Cmd+Left Arrow or fn+Ctrl+Left Arrow - either will work.

    The Notes at the top of the Help page JE pointed you to clarify the point that keystroke combinations may vary depending on style of keyboard.

    Regards,

    oddly that doesn't work on my system, for me it takes my cursor to column A on the same row as where it started.

    Full size wired keyboard with number pad.

    Ctrl+Home on my system takes my cursor from the current position to column A remaining on the row where it started. I'm hoping to figure a keystroke combo to get me to A1.
