In Excel, to go to a specific sheet, you can use the right click.
Place the cursor at the litter arrows at the bottom left corner of the sheet, and the right click, you can see there is a context menu popping out to show first 15 sheets.
If there are more than 15 sheets in your workbook, you can click More Sheets to the Activate dialog, in this dialog, all sheets are displayed in it, and just scroll to find the sheet you want, and click it to go to activate it.
