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 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'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 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?

It must remain between the cells that I described above.
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
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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created a simpel userform that shows sales total and it is activated [.show function] whenever an entry is made in the order column. All of this works fine.
The only problem I have is that the curser jumps in to the text box and doesn't return to the order column where next entry needs to be made.
How do you move the curser out of the userform, back to the activesheet?
Ideally it should move to the next cell for the user to make entry.
I am attaching my sample file here. It has some odd things that I was just playing around with as learning experience. But the main question is how to control the curser.
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?

Now I'm interested in some refinements to make this little toy I'm building work faster. I want the user to be able to enter data without having to click the text box in order to proceed. My code
Userform1. show
just brings up the form with a text box in it, and the user has to click in the box to get started. Is there code I can add that will put the cursor in the text box so it's ready to go?
I suppose this seems trivial, but it will speed the data entry part of this little project up and every little bit counts.

I'm using commandbutton in a worksheet, and would like it to have the same cursor displayed as the 'forms' control.... for some reason, it remains an 'arrow' when the forms becomes a hand. I've identified the 'mousepointer' property, as well as the 'mouseicon' properties; however, it appears that for some reason, I don't have the hand-cursor icon on my system. (i've searched the hard disk, and apparently this is not entirely uncommon according to some posts I've found around the internet).
So my question/favor to ask is:
1) where can i find the standard windows xp system scheme "link select" hand-cursor
(control panel->mouse->mouse pointers... last one)
2) I believe its filename is "hand-l.cur"..... if anyone reading this post can quickly check their windowscursors directory for this file, and reply/ upload it
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;

and your goal is to figure out a way to simultaneously transform the above rows into:
snooze
sleepy
act
act
Todaytomorrow
bialgebras
devnull
devnull

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).
I'm trying to get the cursor to turn to the hand (with the index finger pointing) when the user rolls over a label.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThis 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.
It is keeping a marco from running correctly.
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?

I have a User Form that is used to collect data. CommandButton1 loads the User Form data into the worksheet and CommandButton2 clears all data from the Form in preparation for entering the next record. Immediately after a user first opens the Form, the very first time CommandButton1 is clicked, the Enter Key stops working. At this point data can be typed into any TextBox on the Form, but when the Enter Key is pressed the cursor remains in the TextBox. (The Enter Key will not move the focus to the next Textbox in the Tab Order. Also, if I alter the code to set the focus on a CommandButton as the active control instead of a TextBox, pressing Enter on the active CommandButton does not execute the CommandButton's macro... the same behavior as a TextBox; nothing at all happens when the Enter Key is pressed even though the CommandButton has focus).
At the point when the Enter Key stops functioning, if the user presses 'Alt-Tab' to leave the Form and then immediately uses 'Alt-Tab' to return back into the Form the Enter Key suddenly works again and continues to work correctly from that point on even after CommandButton1 is clicked. Again, the Enter Key stops working ONLY the first time CommandButton1 is run immediately following initially opening the workbook and Alt-Tabing into the Form immediately corrects it. I saw one other post in this forum with this same problem in 2003, but unfortunately it did not get answered.
VBA automation -
Excel added the formula - but they all return "Not Found". After the VBA automation - I visit each cell, see the formula is correct and then press Control +Shift + Enter; then the correct value displays! Of course, the curly brackets also appear in the formula bar. In VBA I tried to use the:
objXL.ActiveCell.FormulaArray = "=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(PositionDataSell!$T$2:$T$505,MATCH(" & lngContractID & "&" & strQuote & strConCat .....
The Excel Formula bar for the cell is just empty (blank)
Using only the Formula property:
objXL.ActiveCell.Formula = "=IF(ISERROR(INDEX(PositionDataSell!$T$2:$T$505,MATCH(" & lngContractID & "&" & strQuote & strConCat .....
The correct formula is created in each cell, but. Until I visit that cell and use the Control+Shift+Enter - the lookup will not work. It is proof that the right formula is there, without the curly brakcets.
In Excel - my vba code successfully constructs these formulas: In essence: It checks for an error and prints "Not Found" if no match is found in the check. It test for two values in a row - matches them to two columns on a row in another worksheet, and returns a third value for the matches of the same row.
A lot of people seem to have been having troubles with the fact that if you try to use controls in a class with the "withevents" keyword, some events (like Enter & Exit) are not included in the tracked events. I have been having some troubles with this myself & have not yet seen any particularly satisfying workarounds to this problem.
So here is an idea I just had, I have not made any attempt yet to implement it & so have no idea how complicated doing so would be, but I thought I would just put it out here & get some feedback on the idea before I spend any real time working on it.
The idea is to create a blank, transparent label that covers the entire form, monitor the Click event of this label, & pass it back to the normal controls on the form as necessary. Does this sound doable, or do you all think it would be merely an exercise in futility? If anyone has any better suggestions for how to work around this lack of events,
User selects a date from a pop up calendar. The date and user ID is entered into the active cell of the active sheet. This I have. I would like at the same time to have it enter the value of just the date (without the user ID) to cell A1 on the sheet labeled final.
Also, while I'm on the topic, I have another workbook where I would like to do the exact same thing with the exception that the user will only be allowed to select a date equal to today or up to 60 days from today?
