About This Shortcut 

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

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

Mac Excel

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 +
