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"

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
In sheet1, The cursom must move only following cells
A2,A5, C10 C15, D15, E50
Besides this the cursor should not move to any cell.
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.

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'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 received this code from the board about a month ago. It works perfectly to highlight the row the cursor is currently in but, has one flaw. Once you place this code in the sheet module and the code initiates, it will "erase all other highlight colors" within your sheet. Is there a way to correct this problem?
Here is the code;
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
With Target.EntireRow.Interior
.ColorIndex = 37
.Pattern = xlGray25
.PatternColorIndex = 24
End With
End Sub

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got working routines that do some action upon double-clicking within a specific range of cells. I want to be able to "wrap" this routine within a routine that will record the activeCell prior to the double-click and, upon completion of my routine, return to that prior location.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been facing a strange issue relating to Cell to Cell movement speed using arrow keys. I've two laptops which have similar specifications and operating systems. In one laptop, the movement speed, when I continuously keep any of the arrow keys pressed for some time, is very very high as compared to the other laptop. Did try to search a lot about increasing the speed of cell to cell movement with arrow keys but was not successful.
The speed difference is so high that it affects the efficiency at workplace as the movement is so fast that I navigate through the tables very quickly and easily and complete my task much earlier than on the other laptop.
Usually when I select a number of cells with my cursor excel adds up the cells and shows a total on the bar. It's stopped doing this now and will only show the 1st cell showing "max=No"

I want a macro which will move cursor to right cell of the same row when the user will press enter in a particular sheet of particular workbook. I have tried the ToolsoptionsEditmove selection after enter , but this applies to excel as a whole and needs to be change every time if another worksheet or workbook is used and thus creating difficulty.
Can this be done through a macro as I need the cursor to move to right cell only for a particular worksheet and for a particular workbook?
I have some code that unhides the next worksheet when the value 'next' is selected at the bottom of the sheet being completed.
I would like to add some code so that the new sheet is opened and the curser is placed in the first cell that needs to be completed (E5).
I work with a sheet with active columns B thru I, which get daily numeric entries. The problem is that I have to enter data in columns H & I first, then go back to B thru G. how to force the cursor to jump to column B when I tab out of I into J?

View 3 Replies View RelatedCan a macro start from wherever cell the active cursor is on? or
perhaps from the cell that the macro button is clicked?
What I am trying to do is copy the data from F(whatever) to whatever
the last empty cell is in the row holds the active cursor. Or I can
create buttons for the macro to run, and it could copy the information
in that particular row.
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 would love to be able to write a formula that instructs the cursor, after data entered in one cell: say i9, move right in a tab fashion to j9, instead on a downward action to i10.
