How do you enable horizontal scrolling with mouse in Excel?

Question

Hi, I have just connected new mouse with horizontal scrolling. I cannot get it working in Excel. It works in Word, ppt, Chrome/Edge with no problem. I tried to use the tip with holding Shift button but all it does is group or ungroup rows. I tried also Mouse and Keyboard Centre but my mouse is not recognized. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Andrzej

Answer 1

Ctrl+Shift+Scroll with mouse.

Move or scroll through a worksheet - Microsoft Support

Answer 2

Holding Ctrl+Shift and rotating the wheel gives the same effect as the one I have already described, which is grouping and ungrouping rows (those which were already grouped before). It doesn't scroll horizontally the screen. I am using Microsoft Office 365 on desktop, not sure if it helps.

Answer 3

It could be your keyboard setting is changed or mouse setting is changed.

Answer 4

Hmm do you know how to fix that? I tried different set up of the keyboard (polish, Eng US, Eng UK) but it doesn't change anything.

One thing though on Ctrl+shift+scroll - it only groups or ungroups rows which were already grouped. It doesn't create new group. If I do that combination on a cell which is in ungrouped row it doesn't do anything.

Answer 5

I haven't met such issue.

You may create a new thread in windows to fix keyboard settings.
