Currently, there's no built-in feature or setting that specifically allows you to enable or adjust the smoothness of scrolling. The scrolling behavior in Google Sheets typically depends on the browser and the system settings of your device.
Some browsers have their own smooth scrolling feature that you can enable. In Chrome, you can type chrome://flags in the address bar. Scroll down until you find an option called "smooth scrolling" or you can simply type it in the search bar. Click on the dropdown menu beside it and choose "Enabled." Note that this will affect all websites, not just Google Sheets.
Sometimes, the lack of smoothness is due to the sheet being very data-heavy. Consider:
There might be browser extensions or Google Sheets add-ons that claim to improve scrolling or overall performance. Be cautious with these, as they can vary in quality and may affect your privacy or data security.
You can use extensions like "SmoothScroll" or "Chromium Wheel Smooth Scroller." These extensions can make the scroll smoother in all web pages, including Google Sheets.
Sometimes the issue is with the hardware or the internet connection. Using a device with better performance or a faster internet connection might result in smoother scrolling and overall better performance.
In some cases, adjusting your system's graphics settings can impact how smoothly applications run, including browser-based applications like Google Sheets.
