Whenever i try to select the bottom right corner of a cell this annoying quick analysis menu comes up. It is shown here in green. This menu prevents me from selecting and incrementing number in a set of cells. Is there a way i can turn this of? So it does come up anymore?
Go to file, and click options. Then under general, uncheck the option "Show Quick Analysis options on selection".
Every time I right click within an Excel cell, whether there is something on the clipboard or not, I always get too many "Values" under paste options. Is there any way to remove these, as it can get annoying scrolling down.
I've been searching online since last year trying to resolve this and finally thought I would ask and see if someone has resolved this before.
See screenshot, below:
Whenever I right click on an excel sheet two menus come up: one with cut, copy, paste, etc. and one with font size, bold, italic etc.
I can customize the first one to have whatever command I want. The problem I have is that I want to DISABLE or DELETE the second one (the one with font size, bold, italic etc.)
I tried going through the entire CommandBars collection but couldnt find the one that I need to delete.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
Apparently its very easy.
Application.ShowMenuFloaties = True
Although this does the job, I still dont understand how to manipulate that menu.
Handling the tabs right now is crazy !!
Often I use a split layout / workspace. Mostly I split vertically.
After a short time I have 10 tabs left, 10 tabs right
If I try to reorder a tab by dragging it, the tabs beneath it (the place I'd like to drop the tab) jump around and flicker.
If I click a tab (of a row) all rows reorder... what the * ? How to keep an overview like this.
I can't drag from one view to the other.
So my associated questions would be...
About 1. Am I doing something wrong ?
About 2. Are there some settings to disable this reordering ?
About 3. See edit
Sublime Text 2 for example does this all very naturally.
Edit
I found out that I can drag a tab from one side to another, BUT I need to drag it a little bit down first so the tab gets "loose"
There is no fix yet, these are known issues:

A workaround would be to use tabs on left/right or in single row options.
I must work with nightmare Excel files. (I didn't create them, I just have to work with them).
They were so big (more than 50 big columns and 100 big rows) then I must scroll up/down and use "<" and ">" buttons to scroll left and right. When I scroll around, Excel always jumps to the next column or row. This make me crazy!
Can I develop a plugin or add-in to make Excel just scroll smoothly, like web browsers do? If so, please give me some resource or just some keyword to learn how to do it.
Another tip: when you click on Scroll lock on your keyboard, this will change the way your arrows keys will work.
Instead of moving from cell to cell, it will move the screen.
Yet, as Issun said, you cannot change Excel and AFAIK, you cannot "split" a cell when scrolling.
Furthermore, you can also change the number of rows that will scroll in the Windows Control Panel.
I'm sorry to tell you but the snapping to the top of a cell when you scroll is a design choice by Microsoft that you simply cannot get around while working within Excel. You can middle click your mouse to enable smooth preview zoom with the mouse, but once you click the program, it will snap back.
Instead of looking for a plug-in, you should look for a different program to run the .xls files to work on them. Perhaps even something as simple as opening the document in Google docs might allow you to scroll normally.
That being said, if you are having the problem of the cells being so big that when you scroll down it skips over some cells, assign either a command button or keyboard shortcut to this macro:
Sub DownOne()
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=1
End Sub
I have used this on several occasions due to Excel skipping cells because of their size. The reason is that the mouse "single scroll down" is by default set to Down:=3
You might be able to map this macro to a mouse wheel scroll event, but I believe you need to add a .dll to use that event (ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837910)
Click down on scroll wheel (middle) of mouse (remember not turn, but click down). This will produce unique four way arrow. Now drag mouse up or down (or even sideways, left or right) and you will get slow smooth scroll.
Well, this is an extremely old thread, but I was having the same problem today.
Try going into your Mouse Settings in Control Panel and set your Wheel to Scroll 1 line at at a time.. I have some rows that are merged, and it was frustrating the hell out of me how quickly it would scroll past them. Turns out, I had my Wheel set to scroll 3 lines at a time (default I think).
Took me forever to figure it out (felt like an idiot once I did).
Note - You'll want to go back and set it back to 3 lines when you're done in Excel because it makes it painfully slow to scroll in your web browser.
Old thread I know, but I found a work around (if this is a repeat suggestion, sorry). Leave Column A alone, with "normal" sized cells. You can hide this column if you don't want to see it. Put all your contents in the remaining columns as you normally would and merge the content over several rows. Since column A is normal sized, you will get "smooth scrolling".
I had the same problem until I upgraded by office from 2014 to 2017. Now I have office 2017 [version 15.33 (170409)] and I can scroll by pixels using Mouse as well as Laptop trackpad. I am using MacOS Sierra version 10 operating system.
