Default Excel should feature a highlighted row/column cursor that scro

Jay,

We see the notice at the foot that says that it is a recommendation for MS
(and presumably they do take notice of these?), but we tend to assume that
although the poster is putting forward a suggestion, they would still like a
solution, at least until it does become a built-in.

I absolutely agree it would be useful, as proven by Chip developing his
add-in, and the number of times I have offered my solution to posters, but I
am not so sure is up there in MS's priorities.

Regards

Bob

Thanks Bob for helping, I didn't mean for my response to sound ungrateful,
it's just that my intent was to suggest to Microsoft that this would be a
very useful feature for all to have.

I believe many people would use this feature, who have to work with large
amounts of data that spreads across a page, and can be difficult to follow
across with the naked eye.

I would like to turn on my cursor highlighting bar the same way I freeze
panes, or split screens. In fact, know that I think of it, the

"highlighted
cursor bar" feature would be appropriately added to the Window menu.

All the best,

Jay

I don't want some workaround macro, I want the feature built in.

I would like to highlight a row or column with my cursor and have

it
scroll
as I move my cursor so that I can see what items are in the same
row/column
that my cursor is in.
