I would like to limit the scroll area. I have looked at the sheet properties window (from the Control Toolbox toolbar) and see that there is a row called "scroll area". I have tried entering a range of cells, but after saving the workbook, this space always comes up empty again. My goal is to limit the area a user can scroll to, both vertical and horizontal.

Thanks.

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Unfortunately, that property is not saved with the workbook. Set it again in the Workbook_Open event procedure.

Hi,

A non-vba approach.

If you want to limit the area A1:J20 then select K21 and Go to Window > Freeze panes. Hide the unwanted rows and columns.
