Default Press Enter and Move Back to Column A Automatically

Just on the off chance that there is a SelectionChange event floating
about somewhere, you should turn off events.

Application.EnableEvents = False
i = Target.Row
Cells(i + 1, "A").Select

Application.EnableEvents = True

Cordially,

Put this tiny event macro in the wroksheet code area:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
i = Target.Row
Cells(i + 1, "A").Select
End Sub

Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and automatic to use:

1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the Excel window
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you have any concerns, first try it on a trial worksheet.

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.


To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
