Auto Movement Of Cursor Without Enter/Tab

Oct 27, 2009

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.

Control Cursor Movement On Enter

Sep 5, 2007

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"?

Control Cursor Movement In Vba

Aug 16, 2007

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.

Cursor Movement :: Locked Columns

Dec 5, 2008

I have a sheet with 56 columns with locked columns every 6 or 7 columns.

The rest of the sheet is unlocked for data entry.

What I would like the cursor to do is when it reaches a locked column, drop to next row instead of moving to the next free cell in the row.

Data entry is from left to right first six columns starting at C8 to H8
Next is L8 To Q8 and so on for 56 columns

When cursor reaches H8 I want it to drop to C9 or whatever column I'm entering into Q8 to L9

Determining Where Cursor Goes After Pressing Enter

Aug 6, 2013

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?

Cursor To Stay On The Cell After Pressing Enter

Jun 23, 2007

Imagine you have only one column - column A. In column A you have 500,000 + rows with text like the following:

!magnus
snooze'
sleepy/
act noun
act verb
Today&tomorrow
*bialgebras
/dev/ null
dev
ull
1970;
Dwight Schrute

and your goal is to figure out a way to simultaneously transform the above rows into:

snooze
sleepy
act
act
Todaytomorrow
bialgebras
devnull
devnull
1970
DwightSchrute

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 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).

Aug 3, 2012

It is keeping a marco from running correctly.

Auto Enter The Date

Nov 29, 2008

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.

Auto Entry Date When Enter Data?

May 28, 2014

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.

- also i am not familiar regarding macros.

Checkbook Register - Auto-enter Deposits / Withdrawals On Certain Dates?

Jan 28, 2014

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.
