Scroll on the mouse wheel

Sometimes, instead of scrolling down the sheet my mouse wheel decides it wants to scroll across the screen. Can you explain??

RE: scroll on the mouse wheel

Hi Anthony

Are you using a mouse with an infra red connection or with the ball?

RE: scroll on the mouse wheel

Hi Anthony.

There is one feature I know of, where you press the middle (scroll wheel) mouse button once. This toggles the 'pan' mode in Excel. You can then slowly move the mouse in any compass direction, and the sheet will scroll in that direction. (eg. move a little to the right and the sheet will scroll right). The further away you move the mouse cursor from the original position you clicked, the faster the scrolling rate. Press the middle (scroll wheel) button again to stop scrolling.

Give this a go, and see if it's the same thing that was happening to you. You may have a sensitive middle mouse button (scroll wheel) that when you are attempting to scroll down, it also presses the button, too.

Regards, Rich

Excel tip:

Checking formulas with multiple operators

When dealing with formulas containing more than one operator (+, -, /, *), Excel follow standard BEDMAS order of operation rules. These rules specify the order that calculations will be performed in, regardless of how the formula reads left to right:

B = brackets
E = exponents
D = division
M = multiplication
A = addition
S = subtraction

It should be noted that multiplication and division are considered equal; as are addition and subtraction.

If you would like to check the order in which Excel is performing calculations in a formula, simply click on the cell containing the formula. Then go to Tools - Formula Auditing and select Evaluate Formula.

In the Evaluate Formula dialogue box that appears on your screen, click the Evaluate button to see how Excel calculates the formula result.
