Here are the standard keyboard shortcuts and some specifics for Excel Online as of mid-2026:  \n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f Excel (Desktop \u2013 Windows / Mac)\n\n| Action | Windows shortcut | Mac shortcut |\n|--------|-------------------|------------------|\n| Move to the **next sheet** (to the right) | Ctrl + Page Down ([excelchamps.com](https://excelchamps.com/keyboard-shortcuts/switch-tabs/?utm_source=openai)) | Option + \u2192 (or \u2325\u2192) ([exceljet.net](https://exceljet.net/shortcuts/go-to-next-worksheet?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Move to the **previous sheet** (to the left) | Ctrl + Page Up ([excelchamps.com](https://excelchamps.com/keyboard-shortcuts/switch-tabs/?utm_source=openai)) | Option + \u2190 (or \u2325\u2190) ([exceljet.net](https://exceljet.net/shortcuts/go-to-next-worksheet?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n### \ud83c\udf10 Excel for the Web (Excel Online)\n\nThe shortcuts from desktop **do** work in many cases on the web version, but there are some important caveats:\n\n- **Ctrl + Page Up / Ctrl + Page Down** often still switches worksheets when using Excel Online in a desktop browser. However, this can depend on your browser, device, or whether page navigation shortcuts are overridden by the browser. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/keyboard-shortcuts-in-excel-1798d9d5-842a-42b8-9c99-9b7213f0040f?utm_source=openai))  \n- Some users have reported that **in Excel Online**, switching sheets via keyboard is **not working** \u2014 likely due to limitations in their browser or keyboard (e.g. missing Page Up/Page Down keys) or because browser shortcuts take precedence. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4862191/tabbing-between-worksheets-in-excel-online?utm_source=openai))  \n- If your Page Up/Page Down keys are part of a function (Fn) layout or otherwise require a modifier, you may need to press **Fn** + the key in addition to Ctrl (on Windows) or Option (on Mac) to emulate the Page Up/Page Down behavior. ([xceltips.com](https://xceltips.com/how-to-switch-between-sheets-in-excel/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### \u26a0\ufe0f Tips if it doesn\u2019t work\n\nIf Ctrl + Page Up / Down isn't doing anything in Excel Online, try:\n\n- Ensuring that the workbook is in **Editing mode** (not just view/suggestion mode).\n- Checking browser settings to see if Page Up / Down are being captured by browser features (scrolling, history navigation, etc.). Sometimes using a different browser helps.\n- Using the sheet tab list: right-click the small navigation arrows at the bottom left of the sheet tabs to get a list of all sheets and then select the one you want from that list. ([trumpexcel.com](https://trumpexcel.com/switch-between-sheets-excel/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Using **Ctrl + G** (Go To) and type a sheet name plus cell (e.g. `Sheet2!A1`) to jump directly. ([learn.microsoft.com](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4862191/tabbing-between-worksheets-in-excel-online?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me whether you're using **Windows or Mac**, and **Excel Online or Desktop**, I can give you the exact shortcut that\u2019ll work for your setup."
