I had the same problem until I upgraded by office from 2014 to 2017. Now I have office 2017 [version 15.33 (170409)] and I can scroll by pixels using Mouse as well as Laptop trackpad. I am using MacOS Sierra version 10 operating system.

I'm desparately looking for a way to disable snap-scrolling in Excel 2016 for Mac. Basically as you scroll Excel will continually try to keep the cell you're focused on in the centered. So when you're working on a large spreadsheet and try scrolling up/down, Excel will snap you back. To say it's infuriating is an understatement - I'm close to downgrading.

  Looks like this has already been answered here and here as not being possible...

  @JeremyS., if I'm reading correctly, the ones you link to are about Excel only scrolling in whole-cell increments, whereas the OP says Excel isn't scrolling at all--it's snapping back to where he is.

I still have this issue, not fixed at all.

(1) I’m not sure this is what the question is really about.   (2) You say that you “can scroll by pixels”. Did this happen automatically, or did you have to do something to enable it?

It happens automatically. You dont have to enable it.
