Moving cusor around spread sheet
I am making spread sheets & would like to have the cusor move to a specified
cell after entering data in a cell when entering data. This way I don't have to move cursor through each cell. This could be done with TAB or ENTER keys. |

Let's say that whenever you have entered data in cell B9 you want the cursor
to automatically move to cell Z100. Enter the following macro in the worksheet code area: Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Intersect(Target, Range("B9")) Is Nothing Then Else Range("Z100").Select End If End Sub REMEMBER: the worksheet code area, not a standard module. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200762 "rfjm" wrote: I am making spread sheets & would like to have the cusor move to a specified cell after entering data in a cell when entering data.

You'll have to excuse me. I am a self taught (trial & error) Excel user.
I found the worksheet code area. Do you need to enter this for every cursor movement? I want to move through out the worksheet to many cells.

You will need some kind of From/To table. The macro needs to know which
cells are departure cells and the destination cell for each departure cell. -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200762 "rfjm" wrote: You'll have to excuse me. I am a self taught (trial & error) Excel user.

Thanks;
I will play around with this & see how it works. RFJM "Gary''s Student" wrote: You will need some kind of From/To table.

You might try this approach, instead of using code:

If your cells are in order - i.e you want to move from cell A1 to D1 to G1 to
A2 you could unlock the cells in the cell formatting and protect your sheet. Tabbing will skip across the locked cells (across columns and then down rows) and enter will skip down (down rows and then across columns). Just untick the 'Select locked cells' option in the protect sheet dialog.

How many is many?
Here is event code to move around to some cells as you enter. Adjust and add to aTabOrd = Array("A5", "B5", "C5", "A10", "B10", "C10") Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) 'Anne Troy's taborder event code Dim aTabOrd As Variant Dim i As Long 'Set the tab order of input cells aTabOrd = Array("A5", "B5", "C5", "A10", "B10", "C10") 'Loop through the array of cell address For i = LBound(aTabOrd) To UBound(aTabOrd) 'If the cell that's changed is in the array If aTabOrd(i) = Target.Address(0, 0) Then 'If the cell that's changed is the last in the array If i = UBound(aTabOrd) Then 'Select first cell in the array Me.Range(aTabOrd(LBound(aTabOrd))).Select Else 'Select next cell in the array Me.Range(aTabOrd(i + 1)).Select End If End If Next i End Sub Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 2 Jan 2008 07:40:06 -0800, rfjm wrote: You'll have to excuse me.
