I want excel to open at the top of my spreadsheet instead of the bottom

Worksheet view in active window will be whereever it was when you last saved
the workbook.

You could add VBA Event code to show a particular view when that sheet is
activated or when the workbook is opened.

Example of sheet activation event code.

Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Application.Goto Range("A1"), Scroll:=True
End Sub

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Copy/paste the code into that module.

Alt + q to return to Excel window.

It opens at the position it was last saved.

If you want it to go to A1 everytime you open the worksheet...
Right-click on the sheetname at the bottom, choose View Code and paste the
following;
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
Range("A1").Activate
End Sub

and compare with what you are doing..

To test
select any cell in sheet1...
go to sheet2 or sheet3
click on sheet1 to come back to it
It should open at A1

macros are disabled..

If this post helps click Yes

Ok.

btw macros must be enabled for the code to work.
