Google Sheets and Excel enable the creation of multiple sheets in one workbook. Let us say, for example; you have created several sheets; sheet1, and sheet2, in your workbook. You are in sheet2 and want to jump to a specific cell in sheet1 quickly. It will take more time while going back to sheet one and scrolling down to find the cell you want. So how do you do it more quickly?
The following steps show how we can quickly jump to a referenced cell in google sheets and excel.
