if it's possible to have a red line going across the spreadsheet while using the arrow keys it follows you down through all cells. And is there a vba coding that someone has ready written.
View 9 RepliesI am trying to create the game of snake in VBA as practice, but I cannot find how to use the arrow keys as input. From what I have read it seems that it may not be possible, but how to change the value of a variable every time an arrow key is hit, post how to do so.

For some reason, when i use my arrow keys to move from cell to cell it now only scrolls my screen around....What did i do, and how do i change it back? I find it sad that i can write code and this stumped me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen every I click in a excel box and try to use my arrow keys to move the box example: A3 to A4. All it does is move the page up and down or across. Is there some type of setting on that is not letting me do this. It use to allow me to. Until another employee got on it. I can not start over becouse I have months of work on this book.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed the arrow keys will move the active cell while I have an inputbox active. This will be an issue for my users, I need them to key in data only.
Is there a command that will disable the arrow keys while the users enter the requested data?
I'm creating a small Excel RPG where the player moves the around a blank worksheet with the walls of a maze appearing as you approach them (think dark corridors, you can see only 1 cell in all directions around you).
The players current location is shown by excel setting the activecell to the players location. Currently I have four buttons labeled Up, Down, Left and Right which the player clicks to move in the desired direction.
The testers were frequently missing the four movement buttons and this would put the activecell outside of the maze next to one of the buttons. They'd have to move it back manually.
I would like for the players to move around using the arrow keys to use the activecell, as you would normally move around a sheet... but before each movement there is a procedure that check IF the player can move in the desired direction or not (cell borders used for walls), and then once they've moved there are more procedures to check for monsters treasure chests etc.
How can I make the arrow keys trigger the macros that the Up, Down, Left and Right buttons currently trigger, and not just move the activecell?
Does anyone know the VBA equivalent to using the Shift-Arrow keys on the keyboard? I am wanting a macro to do this for me. Specifically I am wanting to use Shift-Arrow Right.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to Excel 2007 and my arrow keys do not navigate cell by cell. When I press the right or left arrow keys, my entire screen shifts to the right or left but the cursor STAYS in the cell where it was. Likewise, when I press the up or down arrow keys the screen shifts up or down but again, the cursor remains where it was. Is there an option somewhere that I need to change?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHave a file that I have been coding and find when I open to a worksheet with limited access cells, the Up and Down arrows will not move vertically though Lrft and Right arrows OK though not raping arround. This problem may have been on for sometime and I haven't been back to it. Other Excel files all OK.
View 4 Replies View RelatedArrow keys do not move from one cell to the next. They advance the page or panel view. No spreadsheet works correctly, (new or existing) and scroll lock is not set.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having this weird problem. The work laptop I received with excel 2010 does not allow me to use the vertical arrow keys when navigating through multiple lines when editing a cell. When editing the cell and I press the up or down arrow key, instead of moving to the next line within the cell, the cursor moves to the next cell. Is there a way / an option to have this fixed?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with a spreadsheet I am working on, and I'm not sure if its something I've done, or whether its corrupted.
Basically, Column A is Hidden and not Locked in the protection tab of formatting. The other columns are Locked and not Hidden.
I used to be able to use the arrow keys to scroll through Column A, but this now doesn't seem to work. I can select the cells within column A with the mouse and I can scroll with the mouse and the scroll bars, but I can't move between the cells with the arrow keys, enter button or tab button.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, or is the workbook corrupt?
I know this is a sooo basic question but I can not for the life of me remember how.....
when I am on a excel sheet I can not seem to move from quare to square qiththe arrow keys.
It just now takes me all the way to the left or all the way to the right and not from cell to cell from left to right.
I know its something rather simple yet I can not seem to figure this out.
I have no problem with this on 2003pro.
How do I write a macro that will delete every other line on a spreadsheet? I can create a macro that delete one line using the Record a macro command but what do I ad at the end of the macro to keep it going until stopped with Ctrl Break?

I send numerous almost identical forms to a colleague and to eliminate subject line typo's (Reference numbers) i would like the Subject line to match a cell in the document itself.
I have experience in working with Excel, but none on using code/macros

Does a code exist to do Shift Key_Arrow Right, Arrow Down and then select that range to Copy?
I know the arrows codes but was told by someone no code can ever exist for a Shift Key.
I need to select a range after a "Search For" but the Range is not determined by the actual Cell ranges.
My Code for Arrow keys are:
'Selection.Offset(0, 1).Select '*Right*
'Selection.Offset(0, -1).Select '*Left*
'Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Select '*Up*
'Selection.Offset(1, 0).Select '*Down*
'Selection.Offset(3, 0).Select '*Down * 3 Cells

What is the macro code to insert more than 1 row ?
The code I use to insert 1 Row is :

Sometimes I need to insert 25 rows.
probably this is easy but i can not find it. i have created an userform and would like to add an arrow (<----->) on it to accentuate something. How can i add an simple arrow or line on a userform
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn the attached file and when I click on Name or ID (B5 or B6) the input msg will appear on the same cell using the validation rule.
Actually I need any input msg to appear in the other area where i put the arrow. I tried to move the input msg to that Irea and it worked great each time i click on B5 or B6 but after closing the file and opening it later.. they will go back to the same place.
Simulating the ALT+DOWN ARROW shortcut. I came up with the hereunder code.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have Sheet2 containing Supplier data in 2 columns - SupplierTAxCode and SupplierName (unsorted)
Sheet1 contains the Expenses section.
In Sheet1, column E6 to E1000, after inputting each SupplierTAxCode and pressing the RIGHT ARROW key, I would like to automatically get the SupplierName in column F6 to F1000 - from the corresponding data in Sheet2
In the event that the input in any of the cells in E6 to E1000 does not exist in SupplierTAxCode in Sheet2, would it be possible at the same time, to change the background color of the adjacent cell (SupplierName) in column F6 to F1000 at the same time - as a reminder to add those to the Supplier data in Sheet2 at a later date.
I could use Index Match and Conditional Formatting, but am concerned about the file sizes.
Im looking to add arrow in cells. I.e. if the value of B2 is greater than A2, the cell C2 should display an arrow pointing upwards. If the value is less the arrow should point downwards.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis one has me baffled: I recorded a macro to add a shape to a worksheet, very simple. When I try and run it it comes up with a "The specified value is out of range" error. I've searched the net and it seems to come up where the file has been converted from an earlier version of excel (which this file has) but I haven't been able to find a work around for it. The relevant code is
With ActiveSheet
.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeLeftArrow, 205.5, 312#, 144#, 23.25).Select
End With

Is there a way to remap keys in Excel? I would like to remap the F1 key.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble with the 2003 Alt keys in 2007 ..
I have 2 computers (work & home)
The work computer works fine ... when i use same files on home computer some alt key features wont work?
Example Alt E S T .... (paste special formats)
Any ideas .... I've looked at sharing / protection ... cant find anything to fix it....
It cant be protection because the paste special formats works fine with a mouse or the new 2007 Alt key commands?
Just about ready to remove and re-install...
Is it possible to create a script that will allow mimic the keypress of a keyboard?
For example, if I press the windows key and R, windows will bring up the run box and then I can type in C:Windows and press enter and it will open C:Windows.
Is it possible to have Excel do this?
This would mean I create a macro that has keypresses programmed in so I can run a command prompt and enter some details there then copy the data and paste it into Excel.
I scratched this macro to autosort on more than three keys on a cell change...but is not working:
Dim rng As Range
' Set Target Range, i.e. Range("A1, B2, C3"), or Range("A1:B3")
Set rng = Target.Parent.Range("A2:V1500")
' Only look at single cell changes
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
' Only look at that range
If Intersect(Target, rng) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
' Action if Condition(s) are met
' Do your thing here
rng.Sort Key1:=Range("G2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("F2") _
, Order2:=xlAscending, Key3:=Range("E2"), Order3:=xlAscending, Key4:=Range("C2"), Order4:=xlAscending, Key5:=Range("B2")
, Order5:=xlAscending, Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:= _
False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom, DataOption1:=xlSortNormal, DataOption2 _

I have an application were I would like to use an Active X combo box instead of a regular dropdown list. The list contains 64 items and the text becomes very small in a standard dropdown list. Using an Active X Combo Box allows me to enlarge the text for easier viewing but with 64 items the list tends to run off the sheet. Is their a switch or some other way (scrolling) to make it more viewer friendly?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure this is even possible, but I have a long cell that has data validation. Right now, you have to move the mouse all the way over to click on the arrow to see the list. Is there a way (programmatically or otherwise) to make the down arrow show the list when you're in that cell??
