Roll the mouse’s wheel (1 step = 3 rows)

Press the vertical arrow keys (1 step = 1 row)

Press PgUp/PgDn (1 step = 5 rows)

 

Horizontally, regardless of the mode: move the scrolling bar.

 

Select a cell:

Press Ctrl + → ; this snaps the sheet to the right and selects the last CELL          

Press Ctrl + ← ; this snaps the sheet to the left and selects the first CELL

right click, select Go to column ... then the (visible by the current user, potentially in a collapsed group) column to reach; this selects the cell in this column (and unfolds the group) in the same row.

A full text search based on the beginning of the string is available.

You can find the occurrence of a string in the columns or the rows in a particular color. By default the scope of search is the current task (i.e. the section of minutes).

NOTES

- The headers and the special columns (Description and Unit in another language) are out of the search scope.

- The color of the rows can be a criterion in place of a string (to color a row, refer to How to Change the Font or Layout). Select it in the combo box.

- The latest sought-after string or color is saved.

- The Replacement affects also the bottom area.

- Enter the numerical values without format, e.g. enter 0.01 instead of 1.00%.
