Using Excel 2010 on Windows 7.

This problem is driving me crazy. I have data (formulas) in a worksheet from row 1 to 1000. However, the scroll bar thinks there is data to the bottom of the worksheet, the very bottom!!! So the scroll bar is very small and if you move it even a fraction, you jump from row 1 to row 4830 (or somthing beyond the actual data).

Note the following:
1) I have 4 sheets; Tab 1) A picture of WORD file with instructions; Tab 2) Has worksheet with formulas and macro buttons to sort the data (problem page), Tab 3) Statistics for data on Tab 2; Tab 4) More statistics for Tab 2. I use conditional formatting and Data Validation rules.

What have I tried.

1) Deleting all tabs except tab 2.; followed by a save, even closed and reopened the file.
2) Deleting all rows from 1001 to the bottom of the file; followed by a save, even closed and reopened the file.
3) Clearing all formatting, content, etc. from rows 1001 to the bottom of the file; followed by a save, even closed and reopened the file.
4) Before I deleted the other tabs I changed my formulas to work on rows 3 to 1000 ... this helped speed up my file as well, lesson learned, but didn't help the scroll bar issue.
5) I changed data validation rules to only work on rows 3 to 1000 ... this helped speed up my file as well, lesson learned, but didn't help the scroll bar issue.
6) I changed conditional formatting to work only on rows 3 to 1000 ... this helped speed up my file as well, lesson learned, but didn't help the scroll bar issue.
7) I removed data validation rules and conditional formatting; followed by a save, even closed and reopened the file. No joy.

The only thing that seems to work is to cut/paste content into a fresh sheet and global replace the sheet name in all my formulas.

HELP!!! Surly there is a way to get the scroll bar to fix itself, this is such a basic function of Excel ... good grief!
 
It won't find the last problem cell at the moment,it needs a small change to the message box for that.
What I am hoping is it will as is correct the usedrange.
