#HORIZONTAL SCROLL BAR MISSING IN EXCEL 2013 FULL#
The scroll bars must be big enough to enable the user to view the full width or height of these objects.ĭepending on the settings applied, inserting new rows or columns within the area occupied by the object, could result in that object’s size increasing. That object could be a comment/notes box, a chart or shape, etc. The scroll bar size can also be determined by the bottom right position of a worksheet object.
Once this has happened, the scroll bar needs to be tiny as the worksheet might now be 1,048,576 rows high or 16,384 columns wide. This is an extremely easy mistake to make (I know, I’ve made it myself many times). Formatting that cell, or entering data into it by accident will result in that cell, and every cell above or to the left of it being in the used range. A user might accidentally stray into cells outside of the area needed then make some changes.įor example, press Ctrl + Down Arrow and suddenly the cell the bottom of the spreadsheet is in full view and selected. Occasionally, the used range can become excessively large, which is nearly always caused by user error. For example, if a worksheet has only two changes (1) Cell A1 contains the letter “A” (2) Cell F10 is empty but has been formatted, then the used range is A1:F10. This is the range of cells containing any values, formulas, formatting, etc. The sizes of the horizontal and vertical scroll bars is normally determined by the dimensions of the used range. Two potential factors determine the size of the scroll bar: Anything else? Why does the tiny scroll bar occur?.Option 5: Identifying charts, shapes and other objects.Fixing problems caused by worksheet objects.Option 3: Clear all the unnecessary content & reset used range.Option 2: Clear all the unnecessary content & save.Fixing problems caused by the used range.Size and placement of worksheet objects.
