    It can be very annoying when your arrow keys are not working in Excel. This problem can occur for any of the following reasons.

    The most common cause for arrow keys not working in Excel is scroll lock being enabled. This can be especially frustrating if your keyboard doesn't have a Scroll Lock key, or there is no light indicator showing it's enabled.

    Complicating things further, there are a number of other issues that can lead to arrows not working in Excel. So, the best approach is to confirm whether scroll lock is enabled, and if it isn't, move down the list of other troubleshooting tips.

    The following troubleshooting tips are listed in order of the most common to the least common causes for this issue, so working from first to last will solve the problem faster.

    1.Disable scroll lock. Check the status bar in Excel to see whether scroll lock is enabled. If it is, disable it using the Scroll Lock key on your keyboard, or using the on-screen keyboard in Windows.

    If you have an extended keyboard on a Mac, you can press either F14, Shift + F14, or Command + F14 to toggle scroll lock. On MacBook Pro or MacBook Air, FN + Shift + F12 will do the same. On other Mac laptops or smaller keyboards, you'll need to install a virtual keyboard app that includes the F14 key in order to disable scroll lock in Excel.

    2.Exit Formula Entry mode by pressing Enter. Formula Entry mode is when you select a cell in Excel, type = and then start typing a function. If you press an arrow key in this mode, the selected cell in the formula will change, but the arrow keys won't control the cursor in the sheet.

    To get arrow keys working again, press Enter and then Ctrl-Z to undo the current formula. This behavior can be confusing so make sure you understand how to correctly enter data into Excel cells.

    3.Unfreeze rows or columns inside the current view. If all the cells in the sheet you're looking at are inside of a group of columns or rows you've frozen, it may appear as though arrow keys stopped working in Excel. This isn't the case.
