VBA – Scroll Vertically and Scroll Horizontally

You may need a workbook to always open to a specific view or location on a sheet, or possibly just change the view from a macro. You can do this by using the ScrollRow and ScrollColumn.

ScrollRow

Used to programmatically scroll a spreadsheet vertically. This example will scroll a spreadsheet to row 5.

ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 5

ScrollColumn

Used to programmatically scroll a spreadsheet horizontally. This example will scroll a spreadsheet to column 5.

ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 5

AutoScroll to Certain Row & Column On Workbook Open

And placing the following code in a module will always scroll a workbook’s Sheet1 to row 5 and column 5 if macros are enabled upon opening:

Sub auto_open()
    Sheet1.Activate
    ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = 5
    ActiveWindow.ScrollRow = 5
End Sub
