I receive a report from another office which contains "description of changes" and "reasons for contract changes". I use index and match to add this information to the list of contract changes. This is the only way we can get this data. The problem is that the information is sometimes so long that scrolling down the page becomes a problem because you can't tell where you are. I might be on line 278 and scroll down and suddenly I'm on 295. That probably doesn't make any sense but you can't see the end of the cell most of the time and when you finally do, you've scrolled past a lot of data. This is very frustrating and I'm wondering if anyone has a solution to roll this info up until it's needed or hide some of it or something. It all resides on one sheet but is brought into 3 other sheets via index and match.

I appreciate any ideas anyone might have. I'm at a complete loss.
