Is there any keyboard shortcut to iterate through Excel's worksheet tabs more easily?

Maybe something that would allow me to see all the tabs together and select one of them to switch to it.

Right click on any bottom corner left arrow keys, you will see list of all sheets and select the required sheet on the workbook.

Refer my screenshot:-

This is great! Isn't there any way to do this without using mouse? –  Meysam Jan 29 '12 at 10:47

  • Switch between worksheets: CtrlPgDn or CtrlPgUp

  • Switch between workbooks: CtrlTab or CtrlShiftTab


  • Switch between worksheets:
    FnCtrl or FnCtrl on a small keyboard
    Ctrl or Ctrl on a keyboard with numpad

  • Switch between workbooks: CtrlTab

To switch between tabs in a worksheet: Fn + Command + up/down!

slhck writes it's Ctrl instead of Cmd -- could you specify which version of Excel your answer refers to? Maybe it changed? –  Daniel Beck Jun 14 at 20:14
@DanielBeck: Nothing's changed, in the Windows version at least. My guess is Matt is using a laptop keyboard with a typically weird layout that requires you to press Fn to change the behaviour of other keys. slhck's answer is sufficient IMO. –  Karan Jun 14 at 21:52
@Karan There's no Command key on Windows computers (the equivalent Windows key not being used for program keyboard shortcuts), and every Mac has both Command and Control keys. The Fn is needed to make Arrow keys into Home/End/PgUp/PgDn as shown in slhck's answer. –  Daniel Beck Jun 15 at 6:29
@DanielBeck: Yes, I know Fn is used to change the behaviour of other keys, as I already said above. Perhaps in this case Ctrl and Command can be used interchangeably, and both Fn + Ctrl + Up/Down and Fn + Command + Up/Down do the same thing on a Mac keyboard? –  Karan Jun 15 at 15:15
