One of the sheets in my workbook has been imported from another workbook. On this particular sheet, scrolling (with my mouse wheel) is somehow disabled. I can scroll just fine on all the other sheets.
Here are a few things I tried:
I went to the sheet properties, because I assumed there was something in the ScrollArea property that was causing this. But the ScrollArea property is blank.
There aren't any macros affecting the sheet, and in fact, the workbook is saved as an xlsx, not xlsm, so I don't think a macro is a potential culprit at all.
I went to "view" to see if this was due to a frozen pane, but there are no frozen panes.
I'm sure there's a simple explanation, but I'm stumped. Does anyone have any ideas about how this could be possible?
Thanks in advance for any help!

i have an excel sheet that is grey for some reason. The data seems to be there, but i cant view it. See the picture below. I tried so far going to "normal" view, but that didnt help. Any ideas what caused this and how to get the data visible again?
It looks like your entire worksheet is hidden. Check your menu in order to unhide everything again.
I have been struggling with a strange thing in MS Excel 2010 xlsx file.
Excel works just fine with workbooks except one:
Excel freezes when on mouse click on cell.
This is a sheet-specific thing, because when I delete sheet, the thing is gone.
Also keyboard navigation arrows work as expected.
I've deleted all data, content, text from this worksheet, however it keeps freezing when I click on specific column.
I've checked also macros in dev tab, => all is clear
Also there are no any data connections etc...
Any suggestions appreciated.
that sheet might have all cells formatting
1.select all cells
2.clear all formatting
save and close it
I have a workbook that will not let me glide around by clicking and holding the middle mouse button.
I've seen a lot of answers and help around basic scrolling with the mouse, but that's working fine in this case. It's when I hold down the button, nothing happens. It works on other spreadsheets I have open at the same time so the problem must be specifically with that workbook.
I seem to remember having the same trouble long ago with a single sheet in a book.
Any ideas? The workbook does have a lot of VBA, but I've been unable to detect any part which would affect this. Could there be something buried in that?
aha, someone at work figured it out. It happens when you've hidden columns all the way to the end of the sheet. I've unhidden them and am gliding around easy again.
I have an Listbox Multiselect ActiveX control in a Sheet with Freeze Panes. The problem is that when I try to select items the mouseover icon is the standard excel cross instead of the arrow. I know that this question was asked before, but I didn't find any answer.
Thank u in advanced for help
I tested, and I came up with a few interesting observations.
In the ribbon, go to the developer tab. Make sure that the Design
Mode is not on.
When I first froze panes on the sheet, the freeze line went through the listbox I created. This caused the behavior you are describing with the cross-hairs and being unable to select.
Then I moved the listbox. Still same problem. I tried clicking on various cells around the sheet and in the ribbon area, with no change in behavior.
When I clicked to another sheet and back again, it started working as expected. Normal pointer mouse. I could select multiple, and unselect as needed.
Based on what I've tried, it seems that making sure Design Mode is off, and clicking to another sheet and back again may fix the problem.
I am encountering a small difficulty with an excel file I am working on. When moving from one sheet to another, the new activated sheet is sometimes locked in that sense that I can't make keyboard inputs. This seems to be the consequence of a interacting with a combobox or a listbox.
The issue also arises when I first click on the control and then try to change the content of the unlocked cell of the protected sheet. When the sheet is unprotected, the issue does not arise.
This seems to be resolved when I add this code on the control lostfocus event
debug.print selection.locked
Do ActiveX controls interfer with sheet protection or keyboard input (I can still use the dropdowns of those cell, select them with the mouse, etc.)
Any clue of how to resolve this without adding this mysterious line?
Thanks for your help!
If you have the formula bar hidden just turn it visible. I know it sounds wierd but it worked for me.
