I've made quite a few programs I use in excel and have wondered about this for awhile.
When you run a macro that selects cells and objects off screen or on other sheets, the screen moves to those places. Is there anyway to lock the sheet so this doesn't happen and things look a bit more professional ?
A good number of years ago I used a line of code at the beginning and the end of a macro to keep the spreadsheet from moving until the macro was finished. At the close it moved if a movement was necessary.

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?

View 9 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 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 5 Replies View RelatedI'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 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?

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.

Code:
Sub Move_NRAuto()
Dim fso As Object
Dim FromPath As String
Dim ToPath As String
Dim FileExt As String

I'm trying to amend this code so that instead of hard coding "Folder1" into the code, I can loop this process through a number of folders (Folder 1, Folder 3, Folder 4, etc) and move all of the files in each of those folders into "Folder2".
Is this possible?

So essentially I need a VBA Macro code for Excel 2003 that can take raw data that is input every month via a text document and move it to the next sheet in the workbook. This data is essentially broken down by a "platform" in the raw data section ("P") with monthly totals for each month but it is broken down by platform in total which goes in descending monthly order on the "dat" tabs (which is the final place for the data).
So what needs to happen is the data for the last two years must go from the "P" tab to the "PDat" tab under the correct platform and the correct spot for the newest month. The data that is input each month is in the same format month to month, just starting two rows down from the last month.
At the end of two years, the oldest year of data must be deleted and the other data moved up to the vacant area so that the sheet never grows too large (i.e., at the end of this year 2012 will be deleted and all the data will need to get moved up).
Attached is a sample data workbook.
I have written a vba code which does some calculation on the data on sheet 1 and then puts this data on sheet3 and after the calculation is done it puts the result on a few comboboxes on sheet2. Now the issue is while this whole calculation is performed by excel, I can see the movement in between the sheets. I want to avoid seeing this movement ?
Is it because of multiple Sheet.Select statements inside the vba code ?
I'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 1 Replies View RelatedI have an Excel 2003 program that contains macros. One of the macros hides certain command bars and disables the worksheet menu bar. On close the opposite is true. The problem is, if a user uses the disable macros when opening then the worksheet menu bar and other command bars are still available. I would like to hide all of the data sheets and display another sheet that would normally be hidden displaying a message that the macros have to be enabled for the program to work correctly if disable macros is chosen. When the enable macros are used I would like the Error page to be hidden.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a user that keeps a maintenance log in an Excel worksheet and sends an updated copy once a week to a board member. Two weeks ago, the board member started complaining that he was prompted to enable/disable macros on opening and became worried when my user stated that no macros were used in the book. He is now concerned that we have sent him a virus.
I know the file is clean because I've scanned it, and when I look at the file in VB, there are no modules or classes present just the Sheets 1-3 and the ThisWorkbook file. None of these objects have any code in them. My user does have some macros in PERSONAL.XLS but they are not used in the workbook in question.
No one else gets the prompt for enabling/disabling macros. Even if I set my security to prompt for any macros, I get no message. I'm convinced that there must be some setting in his Excel that is causing this individual to get this message. Is there anything else other than a macro that would cause this?
