Position Excel Cursor at Top of Sheet

DMH1

Hi,  I am using Designer 2020.2.  I'm outputting some larger binary Excel files from Oracle data.  When I open the spreadsheets that were generated, they open with the cursor at the bottom of the sheet, giving the initial appearance that there is no data!  Of course, Control + Home repositions the cursor, but I would prefer that my corporate users not have to deal with the issue.  I know it sounds picky, but I prefer that the spreadsheet opens on the first row.

 

Any thoughts on how I might be able to force the cursor to the top?

 

Thanks

Are you able to output as an XLSX file instead of XLSB? I am not sure if there are nuances in XLSB that require the cursor moving, but if you output to XLSX instead the cursor will be positioned at the top of the file.

Thanks very much!!  Such a simple thing.  I use the binary Excel files quite a bit, so it would be great if that corrected in the XLSB output.

Again - thanks
