I've exhausted my search engine skills and I'm about 99.9% sure Excel is incapable. This message board has been great over the years of figuring out even the trickiest of problems, but is there any functionality in 2003 or the slight possibility that after a user inputs a number in a cell (no tab, no enter) that it will move to the next cell.
After reading about this, most people say it is not possible even with VBA or Macro, and I certainly believe it, but the whiny, and horrible department that I work for are curious if this is possible. So, is it? If this is the wrong area for this questions, I apologize, I was considering putting this in the Macro/VBA area, but I gave up in deciding where to post this.
I need to change the way Exel move the focus when I press return in a cell. For example when I am in column 1 and press return, I want the focus to move to column 4. If I am on column 5 I need to go on the first column of the next line, etc ...
I think I am suppose to use ActiveCell.Offset(1,0), and ActiveCell.Offset(-4,1) for my 2 examples. But my question is what is the VBA code for: "do that when I press enter and I am in this column"?
I am wanting VBA language in a macro that will move the cursor a certain number of cells in a certain direction. For example, I want the cursor to move right one cell, no PARTICULAR cell, just right one cell. Is there something I can use?
I want to move the cursor in my spreadsheet from cell to cell in a particular order. I've tried the following code, but it only works when I change the value in the cell.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range) Select Case Target.Address() Case "$A$1" Range("$F$5").Select Case "$F$5" Range("$B$12").Select Case "$B$12" Range("$A$6").Select Case "$A$6" Range("$A$1").Select End Select End Sub
I want the cursor movement to follow the same order even when I don't change the cell value, for example, when I repeatedly hit the "Enter" key without altering the existing cell value.
I am developing an invoice templet and would like to define the specific movement for the cursor from cell to cell. I searched the forum and found the following in another thread:
This routine should do what you want. You should set your options/preferences to " move selection after enter"....
I want to do a arrangement for a file like this " wherever cursor moves in excel that particular cell will highlight with color and once it goes to some other cell that last highlighted cell will come as a ordinary cell"
I want to be able to enter a single digit figure into a cell and have the cursor move automatically to the next cell to the right. then enter a figure in there and have it do the same thing. is this possible and, if so, how?
I need a macro which will put "P" when the cursor will be moved by right arrow key in the range c19 to AG55 if the cells are blank suppose cursor is moved from c19 to c20 & if c20 is blank then "P" will come on, if c20 is not blank say "Z" is in c20,then at c20 "Z" will remain at c20 and the code will not put "P" at c20 then.
I'm looking for code that will move the cursor after the "enter" key is pressed through specific cells/order listed in the code, which can be changed as required. Using the option/tools cursor movement affects all excel documents which we don't want - just the specific sheet we are working in.
I have a code that works fine, however only uses one cell as a trigger. I need each cell in column M to run the code, so at the moment only M6 will trigger, and not M7.
I have set the default in Excel to move across to the next cell after I press Enter. This is fine for most workbooks but I have a particular workbook in which it would be preferable (save keystrokes) for the cursor to move down one cell. Is it possible to have one action as the default but another for a particular workbook?
I know I can use Filter and filter out characters like &'!/; but that takes too long because I have a lot of lists to go through with thousands of entries. There must be a macro that will close spaces between words when only one space exists, but eliminate every word if 2 or more spaces exist between words - as well as eliminate unwanted characters like the ones I described above. I know I could use substitute and eliminate the spaces between words =substitute(a1," ","") but then I'd have to filter each and every instance of unwanted character.
I believe this is a little basic for this forum; but, I haven't been able to find a good answer just searching the web.
I have a spreadsheet that I am entering single digit numbers in each cell. I would like the cursor to automatically jump to the next cell to the right after the number is entered (without having to hit the right arrow key).
This vlookup has been in this workbook for years. All of a sudden any of the cells that have formulas won't work without placing the cursor after the formula in the bar and hitting enter.
Can I make the cursor use only 2 columns? In other words, I know that when I scan barcode data into A1, I have the cursor automatically move to B1. BUT, once I've scanned data into B1, how do I make the cursor automatically move to A2?
My Excel sheet is a check list inventory and is arranged in three, two column matrix.
The cells are expecting an integer rating (1-5).
Problem Description: What I would like to do is enter my integer rating in a cell in a column and then automatically have the cell selection advance once to the right and then down to the next row until all the cells have been filled with there integer ratings.
I would like to do this without having to hit the enter or tab key.
I would like to make a list of vehicles with auto servicing dates appearing in the next column. How can I do this, example would be say 30/11/2008 was the last service, next column would be next service due 30/02/ 2009 and then a column next to that to say when service was done.
Pretty simple but I can't seem to get it to auto bring up the next service date which would be in 3 months time or 90 days.
Does anybody have a formula to use to auto enter an alphabet? With this formula I would like the last letter in the alphabet Z to be followed by AA, AB, etc. If I delete row 5 (letter E) I would need the letters to auto generate in order.
I am working with a VBA userform and several textbox's, setting SetFocus and or TabIndex doesn't leave the box ready to accept input and there is no cursor shown to indicate it is ready to accept input.
What I want to do is if I add data into B7 or F7 then the current date will appear in J7. I also don't want the date to change every time the project is opened.
Thus,
If I enter "withdraw or any word" into B7 or F7 - The current date (4-Dec) would appear in J7.
then if I close excel and I open it tomorrow, J7 would still read as 4-Dec, while if I enter "deposit or any word" into B8 or F8, the current date (5-Dec) would appear in J8.
- would need to be able to enter multiple entries on one day as well.
If given columns B and C, is there a VBA code that will look to those columns and auto-enter the payments across the week matrix based on that criteria?
i have an excel sheet where i enter company information including Zip code. the zip codes around here all start with 797 and end with numbers from 01 to 12
i am looking for a way to enter just the last 2 numbers and have it automatically insert the full zip
example:
line one i would enter 01 and 79701 would show up in the box.
I know there are ways to do this, just can't remember its been so long since I've had to use excel.
I'm wanting to make a checkbook register. That part I can do (I am totally an Excel idiot, but I'm fairly decent with Google and I couldn't seem to find anything about this), but I'm wondering if auto-drafts are possible. What I'd like to do is have a table of regular auto-withdrawals (or deposits, for that matter) and then on the appropriate day have them auto enter into the register. Ideally, I'd like them to enter 2-3 days in advance, or even at the beginning of the month.
For example: Netflix on the 1st, Life Insurance on the 12th, Auto Insurance on the 15th, etc.
