Worksheet.Previous property (Excel)
Returns a Worksheet object that represents the previous sheet.
Syntax
expression.Previous
expression A variable that represents a Worksheet object.
Remarks
If the object is a range, this property emulates pressing Shift+Tab; unlike the key combination, however, the property returns the previous cell without selecting it.
On a protected sheet, this property returns the previous unlocked cell. On an unprotected sheet, this property always returns the cell immediately to the left of the specified cell.
Example
This example selects the previous unlocked cell on Sheet1. If Sheet1 is unprotected, this is the cell immediately to the left of the active cell.
Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
ActiveCell.Previous.Select
