Press Ctrl+End to jump to the end of the active part of a worksheet and Ctrl+Home to jump to the upper left corner of the worksheet (usually cell A1). Double-click an edge of the active cell (or press Ctrl with an arrow key) to quickly move to the top/bottom of a column or the left/right side of a row.
- [Voiceover] We're looking at a worksheet called HR List…in our chapter four file…and maybe we've never seen this worksheet before.…We want to know how big it is.…Now big we don't mean counting bits and bytes,…but how much space does this take up…in terms of how many rows, how many columns?…Not as if we want to count but,…how big is this?…Get in the habit of pressing Control+End.…The reason I'm saying that in that way…is I don't mean Control+N meaning the letter N…but the E-N-D key Control+End.…In any worksheet when you press Control+End,…the active cell moves to what we might call…the lower right hand corner of the…active part of the worksheet.…
It doesn't always mean that it ends up…in a cell that has data,…but when you press Control+End…you can say with authority…there is no data anywhere in this worksheet…below row 742 and there is…no data anywhere to the right of column K.…You can be sure.…If you'd like to go to the upper left hand corner,…Control+Home.…Nearly always this means cell A1.…The exception would be if you've got frozen titles.…
