How does Scroll Lock affect Microsoft Excel?

In Microsoft Excel, when Scroll Lock is active, the arrow keys scroll the entire sheet instead of moving between individual cells. This is a common source of confusion for Excel users. ScrollLock gives you direct control over this key state without searching for a physical Scroll Lock key on your keyboard.
