SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, when you run the SELECT.END function on a minimized worksheet, the command appears to be executed successfully; however, no action is taken and no error message is generated. This problem occurs when using any of the values (1-4) within the SELECT.END function.

WORKAROUND
The SELECT.END function works properly if the worksheet is restored or maximized. To work around this problem, use the following commands to maximize or restore the worksheet:

 To restore the worksheet, use the WINDOW.RESTORE function. -or- To maximize the worksheet, use the WINDOW.MAXIMIZE function.

The WINDOW.MINIMIZE command can also be used after the SELECT.END command to restore the worksheet to a minimized state. The SELECT.END function also works properly on a hidden sheet.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft Excel listed above. This problem was corrected in version 5.0 of Microsoft Excel for Windows.
