Excel, VO and iOS on the iPhone

iOS and iPadOS

I am having trouble using the iOS version of Microsoft Excel on my iPhone with VoiceOver. I have a good understanding of Excel on a PC using JAWS, but on iOS on the iPhone with VO is difficult to master. I am basically having difficulty in maneuvering from cell to cell with swipe gestures. I can only go so far across a row and then I go to the beginning of the next row. I also can't seem to move vertically through a column. Can anyone give me some basic instructions on how to do this? Also, is there a tutorial anywhere on how to use Excel in iOS on the iPhone and using VO? Thank you.

I don't have Excel but I had similar frustration with Google Sheets. I would swipe one finger right and the focus would move to the next row instead of the next column. When I performed a three finger horizontal swipe to reveal additional columns, I could access the next one. Maybe that will work with Excel?
