If you want to quickly move from one worksheet to another using the keyboard, you can do so by using Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown. You use Ctrl+PgUp to move toward the first worksheet in the workbook, and Ctrl+PgDown to move toward the last. When you reach the first or last worksheet, Excel does not wrap to the opposite end of the workbook if you continue to press the same shortcut key.

What would be rather nice would be a keyboard short cut which is similar the behaviour of Alt+Tab between applications in Windows. In other words, switch between the last used tab where ever it may be, not jus adjacent tabs

I like the right click behavior. I didn't know about it. I wrote a macro once that listed all the sheets in a workbook and I could select the one that I wanted to go to. This is even better. Of course, I used that macro to create one that would move a sheet next to a sheet in the list, so it worked out well for that.

Its actually a "right" click on the left side of the sheets, where the arrows are, for me anyway. (?)

Another quick way of navigating sheets (particularly if the book has a lot of sheets) is to left click where the arrows are to the left of the tabs. This gives a list of all the sheets and you can select the one you want.
Got a version of Excel that uses the ribbon interface (Excel 2007 or later)? This site is for you! If you use an earlier version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the menu interface.
