I have a range (A1:A50) where users type in the information. In the range
users not suppose to skip a cell(s) and type in the information in the cell
after. For example, I type in the info in Cell A1. Then I skip Cell A2 and
type in the info in Cell A3. In this example I am not supposed to skip A2
and type in the info in A3.

Can we write a code to check and prompt the users not to skip the cell(s)?
Please consider sometimes the users may skip more than one cell, and I only
want to check and prompt the users for the skip cells. The users may or may
not type in the info in all A1:A50. Therefore, the checking should stop on
the last cell of info entered.

Please help. Thanks.

Happy New Year to you all!!!

right click on the sheet tab and select view code. then paste in code like
this:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count 1 Then Exit Sub
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A2:A50")) Is Nothing Then
If IsEmpty(Target.Offset(-1, 0)) Then
Target.Offset(-1, 0).Select
End If
End If
End Sub

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the code. I need something a little different. This is what
happens

I have a button on the sheet where users can click on. When the users click
on the button, the macro will check a series of things on the sheet. During
checking, if there is a discrepancy, it will prompt the user with a message
and the user will keep receiving the message until it fixes. This code will
be a part of what I already have.

Thanks again.

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the code. Sorry for not getting back to you soon! I just tried
your code, and the code didn't work. When I debug the code, it didn't do
anything. Should we use the FOR statement to check the blank rows?

Please help.

Thanks again.
