Navigation through Excel sheet – End Of Data

Quickly move to the end or beginning of big chunks of data.

Magic shortcut is Ctrl + <arrow_key>

Ctrl + Up - Moves cursor up until empty cell

Ctrl + Down - Moves cursor down until empty cell

Ctrl + Left - Moves cursor left until empty cell

Ctrl + Right - Moves cursor right until empty cell

When holding Ctrl + Shift + <array keys> it moves cursor and extends the selection area. Very practical example to select rectangular data within TWO strokes:

  1. While holding "Ctrl + Shift"  push "Left"
  2. While still holding "Ctrl + Shift"  push "Down"

Date data end within VBA code

The same keyboard trick is available from VBA code

Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).End(xlToRight)
Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).End(xlDown)
Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).End(xlToLeft)
Sheets("Sheet1").Cells(1, 1).End(xlUp)

  1. Learn Excel basics ;-)

  2. actually, I am shocked how many people do not know these basics. VBA code is very useful for detecting data blocks.
