Move to edge of data region

Ctrl+Arrow moves the active cell to the edge of the current data region (the last non-empty cell in that direction).

Ctrl + Arrow

When to use it

Use to quickly jump to the boundary of a contiguous block of data in a worksheet, avoiding manual scrolling.

Pro tip

If the active cell is in an empty region, Ctrl+Arrow jumps to the next cell with data in that direction. Combine with Shift to extend the selection.
