Range Navigator – Smarter Navigation for Excel

My previous Excel Navigation add-in fetched a few fans; I got a lot of positive feedback on LinkedIn. I designed it to help people working on enormous spreadsheets. I then realized that big workbooks usually host many sheets. I received a few requests to add worksheet selection functionality into the form. Nothing makes me happier than to help my fellow strugglers, so I worked on an extension.

So here is what you can do with this little bad-boy:

  1.  ‘Scroll’ through all the workbooks open in the current instance of Excel, by clicking and dragging through the listbox
  2.  ‘Scroll’ through all the visible worksheet in each workbook.
  3. Then you can use the ‘Nav Pad’ to scroll through the sheet’s used range
  4. If you press the little toggle button at the bottom, the form becomes a little bigger and reveals two more list boxes. One for all the global range names in the workbook, and another for the local names in the selected worksheet.
  5. Now, the ‘Nav Pad’ scrolls through the selected range name only.

I have not fully tested it yet. I expect some errors: protected workbooks, protected worksheets, non-rectangular ranges, etc. Do let me know if any errors pop up.
