About This Shortcut

Movement is to the right through worksheets and will stop at the last worksheet to the right.

To move to the last tab/worksheet in a workbook, hold down the control key and click the right navigation arrow in the lower left corner of the workbook.

As of November 2025, there seems to be a conflict with Microsoft’s published shortcuts Control + PageDn (Next worksheet) and Control + PageUp (Previous worksheet). Instead of moving sheets, Excel moves the window up and down via its own Window menu shortcuts. However, these shortcuts do work:

  • Next worksheet: Option + → or fn + Command + →
  • Previous worksheet: Option + ← or fn + Command + ←
