Which key moves to the beginning of a row?

In Microsoft Excel, pressing the Home key moves the active cell selection directly to the beginning of the current row. This means if your cursor is in any cell in a row—say, E5 or H10—pressing Home will instantly take you to cell A5 or A10, which is the first cell of that row.

This shortcut is very useful when working with wide spreadsheets that contain a large number of columns. Instead of scrolling manually, the Home key saves time and improves navigation efficiency.

Let’s break down the other options:

• 
  

  End: Moves the cursor to the last cell in the row or column, depending on the context.

  
  


• 
  

  Ctrl: Used with other keys for shortcuts (not used alone to move the cursor).

  
  


• 
  

  Tab: Moves the selection one cell to the right.
