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:
A family of Microsoft spreadsheet software with tools for analyzing, charting, and communicating data.

Horizontal scrolling on my Sculpt Comfort Mouse is not working after updating the Mouse and Keyboard Center and/or the latest Windows 10 update. I primarily use it for Excel. I don't even see the option to enable horizontal scrolling in the mouse settings in Control Panel or in the Mouse and Keyboard Center.

Horizontal scrolling ended with Logitech not supporting it in its mice after 2005? and Microsoft removing driver support from Office for its own mice around 2005.
I can do horizontal scrolling in Excel 2003 (NOT 2010) using older mice under Server 2008.
L & M decisions to stop supporting horizontal scrolling while producing mice which DO is ridiculous, especially since Excel requires HS.
MS announced that they will restore it after Office 2007 came out. You just wait…
I have a Logitech M705. I downloaded SetPoint application here: http://support.logitech.com/en\_us/software/setpoint and followed the simple instruction provided by Nick and it now works with Excel to scroll left and right with the middle wheel.
The setting of the number of cells to scip in 1 click vs the speed when you hold it is not that great as you only have the speed setting. But at least, it works now.

I had a similar problem with my microsoft sculpt mouse.
I just put the usb connector and the horizontal scrool works for some programs, but doesn't works on:
excel
pdf viewer
power point
windows explorer
paint
image editor
SAP
Access
So, I solved part of problem downloading and installing the official driver from microsoft site.
Now, excel, windows explorer and power point works.
But for the others still doesn't works.
After much searching I found the setting in the Logitech SetPoint software. Here's a screenshot with numbered steps
repeat for "Select Button 5." but with "Right Scroll"
This worked for all apps except Project Libre. Not surprised as it uses the Java UI convention.
