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?
View 2 RepliesI 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?

!magnus
snooze'
sleepy/
act noun
act verb
Today&tomorrow
*bialgebras
/dev/ null
dev

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

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 use a scanner that initiates a f2 command and trips my macro. I would like to use multiple scanners using a 8 port hub but I am having trouble with a scanner starting my macro and another scanner dumping data into my macro before the first one is finished. This is dropping scanned data into my macros. Is there a way to prevent the scan from accepting data until the macro has completed its cycle.

I have developed a Userform button in Excel 2010 using the developer icons, which when clicked on with my mouse it runs my super dooper macro. It works great!
But one thing I want to have happen is to have the choice of using the Enter key to start the macro or use the left mouse button
For example, I place data in (say) cell A1 and the userform button is in cell A2. When I place the data in A1 and press the Enter key, the cursor moves down to A2, but doesn't highlight the user button. When I press the Enter key again, the cursor moves to cell A3.
What I want is when I fill in the data in A1 and press the Enter key, the cursor moves to cell A2 and selects the button, so that when I press the Enter key again, it activates the macro.
I have the following code that will go down through column "L", look for the value "ATS", and if found will move it to the right 1 cell. this works find,
My need is to also move the 2 cells directly below the cell containing "ATS", then clear the contents of the "Original" 3 cells before going to find the next instance of "ATS".
Sub Move_Values()
Dim myrange, cell As Range
Set myrange = ActiveSheet.Range("L4", Range("L5000").End(xlUp))
For Each cell In myrange
If InStr(cell.Value, "ATS") > 0 Then
cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = cell.Value
cell.ClearContents
End If
Next cell
End Sub
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 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 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).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 am trying to position the cursor in a spreadsheet column based on the data within the column but am struggling with the software to do it.
What I have is:
(a) A column (A:A) containing a mix of up to 500 numbers (1 to 3 digit) and a few text entries (1 to 6 char). These form the basis of a movement log where say 100 different drivers (each with unique identity) are logged in and out, so there will be duplicates.
(b) A number of other columns logging task/times etc but the one I am interested in (B:B), contains a tick (martlet font "a") to denote the driver has departed.
What I want to do when a driver departs, is have a quick way of finding (from the top down) the row containing the drivers number (A:A) where the driver logged in, but has not yet departed (so I can tick him out!).
So from the top: find the first row (in A:A) matching a specific number/string, where B:B is also blank and position the cursor at B"x").
I have imagined a "button" with data entry at the top of the sheet being the easiest physical way of doing it but am open to offers.
Can the Cursor (or cell?) be highlighted as well, because this is not always easy to see in bright light.
I want play a trick on someone and make a button move out of the way when they try to click on it. I think that this code is from VB6.0:
Private Sub CommandButton1_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
CommandButton1.Move Rnd(100) * 4000, Rnd(100) * 4000, 1000, 1000
End Sub
In Excel, this code results in Run-time error '438': "Object doesn't support this property or method."

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have written code for a userform, and after I enter in valid data, the cursor will not move on to then next field. I cannot even click on another field with my mouse. I changed some of the code around to add validation to it, and now I am unable to move on once a valid entry has been made. If the user enters in the value "9999" the userform works just fine, it only freezes when they attempt to enter in an employee number. I've tried a few different ways to resolve this, but nothing is working. This is the code I have written.
