Why are arrow keys not working in Excel on Windows 10 laptop?

A:

Scroll Lock is the most common cause. Look for a light on your keyboard over the Scroll Lock button if Scroll Lock is enabled. By pressing the Scroll Lock key or using the on-screen keyboard in Windows, you can disable it if it is enabled.

A:

Several factors could be causing your arrow keys not to function in Excel in Windows.

  1. The most common cause is that your keyboard has Scroll Lock enabled. You can turn it off by pressing the Scroll Lock key in Windows or using the on-screen keyboard.
  2. It is also possible that Excel is in formula entry mode. In this mode, pressing an arrow key changes the selected cell in the formula. However, you won't be able to control the cursor with the arrow keys. Press Enter and then Ctrl-Z to undo the current formula to get the arrow keys working again.
