I don't know why it works this way, but there was probably once something in
those rows and Excel still considers that the used range. This usually works
for me.

1) Highlight all the rows below the range you are actually using
2) Delete those rows
3) Type Alt-F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4) If you don't see the "Immediate" Window at the bottom click View,
Immediate Window in the menu
5) In the immediate window type Activesheet.Usedrange and hit enter
Your problem should be fixed.

I encounter this problem a lot so I have a button on my toolbar that runs
the following macro which resides in a module in my personal.xls.

Sub UsedRange()

For Each s In Worksheets
s.UsedRange
Next

End Sub

The problem is, that the scroll bar on the right has so many rows, that it is
not useful for scrolling through the 400 rows of data that I have since that
is such a small portion of the entire workbook. When I hide rows, this does
not help the scrolling issue. I want to be able to somehow reset the
scrollbar so that the top is at row 1 and the bottom is at row 400 instead of
row 50,000. Do you know any way to do this?

I have a file with about 400 rows of data, however 50,000 rows are displayed.
So it is difficult to use the scroll bars, as my data is a very small
portion of the entire workbook. How do I limit the display to show and
scroll only through my 400 rows?
