I have a Logitech M500 mouse. This mouse has a mechanical mousewheel (the "ticking" kind), which can also be clicked from the sides to horizontally scroll. The great thing as that this works almost everywhere... In my browser, in Notepad++, basically almost everywhere as far as the programs go that I use. Except for Excel 2013.
Possibly related, it also doesn't work in regular ol' Explorer file browser windows. Not a bother, because I use Total Commander. But the horizontal scroll thing does work in Internet Explorer 10, which seems odd to me (same company behind Explorer and Internet Explorer, after all).
When I got the mouse, I did not install any drivers myself. I just connected the mouse and let Windows looks for and install proper drivers completely automatically. And since it works perfectly in the browser and my code editor, I figured the horizontal scroll function was working properly.
Is there perhaps some kind of thing that I need to do to make Excel recognize a horizontal scoll from the scrollwheel, or have I perhaps stumbled upon a bug?
btw, this is my mouse:

Dear Microsoft!
Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately doesn't work.
I tried on my new laptop (Win 10 + Office 2016, Logitech G500), and my old desktop computer (win 8.1, offie 2013, Logitech G5). Same problem.
What is the next step?

There is nothing to repair - it's a Microsoft bug since after Office 2003
Try to repair you Excel from Control Panel, URL: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Repair-an-Office-application-7821d4b6-7c1d-4205-aa0e-a6b40c5bb88b
I hope it helps.
Dear Microsoft!
I have a same problem in the Excel 2016 (64 bit) I can't scroll horizontally by my new Logitech G502 mouse on Windows 10 64 bit. The Word and the Power Point and Google Chrome browser are working.
I used the last few year a Logitech G500. It was same problem :((
I have an old (like 6-8 years) Logitech RX250 mouse - unfortunately it works very well.
It looks Microsoft Excel bug. I am waiting for the bux fixing.
Best Regards
