Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how to make it so that when I click a button that I created in Google Sheets, it takes me to the cell I told it to (via the code below) and brings that cell to the top of my sheet in terms of viewing. I don't know code, but I found the code below online for the navigation, which works great, except that it navigates to where the top of the table is at the very bottom of the page (see attached image). I'd like to find a way to where it navigates to the same cell, but it brings it up to the top of the page - is there a way to do this? Thank you

Thank you in advance.

function FUNDEDANDAWARDRECEIVEDCVM(){
// 1 = row 1, 14 = column 14 = N
goToSheet("FY22 STATUS", 3, 2);
}
function goToSheet(sheetName, row, col) {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName(sheetName);
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveSheet(sheet);
var range = sheet.getRange(row, col)
SpreadsheetApp.setActiveRange(range);
}

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
I don't know about Google Sheets ... but this works in Excel :


VBA Code:
Option Explicit

Sub GoToCell()
    Range("D5").Select  'edit cell accordingly
    Application.Goto ActiveCell
End Sub

Thanks Logit, I couldn't get that one to work though - what about this below? I found it on this site. I'm thinking it might work for what I'm looking to do, but I'm not sure how to get that into Google Sheets code, does anyone know how to translate the below XLS code for use in Google Sheets? Thank you.

Sub TopLeft()
Application.Goto ActiveCell, Scroll:=True
End Sub
