Macro Entry
I am working on a spreadsheet and I know how to turn on and off the macro.
However, I want to enter information (once the macro is turned on) and have the macro then move me to the next cell once information is entered. I have used keystokes, but the keystrokes are recorded. Thanks. |

Hi, one way to do it is to have two macros, one to do the things before you
enter information, and the other to do the key strokes and cell moving. If you can be more specific, maybe I am able to help you. -- Rgds, Cosmic "Nicole" wrote: I am working on a spreadsheet and I know how to turn on and off the macro.

Nicole,
You can't enter stuff into cells while the macro is running. The other replies give some possible solutions, though it's not clear what your trying to accomplish. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com "Nicole" wrote in message ...

Thanks for the input. Here is more detail. Let's say as an example I am
using column 1, rows A-Z and Column 2 rows A-Z I want to start in A1 enter data then have it move to A2, enter data, then b1, etc. But in some of the fields I have drop down options. I am somewhat new to macros - in the past I have used Lotus and in those macros you could build the macro to allow input i.e. "??" would represent data to be entered. If you are interested in assisting with this, please email me at and I would be happy to forward a sample document.
