add a number to stopping at that column changing the number that was there to
indicate another addition of that number then pressing enter and then on to
the next number. THERE HAS TO BE A SIMPLER WAY, BUT I DON'T KNOW ENOUGH TO

Column A B C D E F............xx
December 1 2 3 4 5............22259

I am only entering in 10 numbers into each row under each number column,
but I have to scroll all the way accross until i get to each number column's
column . i.e. I could have to add #'s 1, 45,67,99,345,678,and 987 but I need
to scroll from 1 to 45 then onto all the others. I want to be able to have
my row look like this
Column A B C D E F G H I J K
December __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
and then I simply type in the numbers I need in each column and then the
numbers are "magically" added to the correct number columns. I hope this
makes sense to someone and can help me.

Are there always only 10 cells to fill in, or could this number change with
each set of cells to be filled in?

Are the column numbers to be filled in always 1, 45,67,99,345,678,and 987,
or can the column numbers vary with each set of cells to be filled in?

Hi Bernard,
Okay, here goes.

I am doing research on probabilities between astrological aspects of the
planets and occurences of people showing up to class. So I have"

Column A == the astrological aspects that happen at the time of the class
there will be anywhere from 1 to x# of possible aspects which could change

Then in columns B thru XX will indicate the number of students that show up
to the classes through out the campus so at any one time there could be the
least number of 1 to the most number at this time of 155.

Right now I have it set up this way:
Column A B C D E F G H I J K L
and so forth to 156
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
to 156
mars sq sun

and when mars is squaring the sun I will a hash mark beneath each column to
indicate how many students are in class at that time, there usually are no
more than ten classes going at one time that I am following. So what I
would like to be able to do is to simply have ten areas that I could just
fill in the numbers in ten different cells and they will "magically " go to
their respective places in the colums to be added to the other times that
mars squared the sun and I tallied the students. I hope this makes more
sense. And I greatly appreciate any thoughts and help.

Hi Rick
The number of cells will most probably stay at 10, but there is a
possibility that it will increase.
The column numbers will be chronological starting with 1 and running through
156. I want to have to only be concerned with filling in 10 cells with
numbers that will "magically" find their ways to their respectively numbered
column and add themselves to any other number that is there so that I will
have a running total in each cell in this "magic" land that I can then look
at and analyze. Thank you so much for your help!

Hi Rick,
I guess I am being really dense, and I apologize. I need ten columns and
each of those ten columns should be able to accept upto the numbers 156 so
that lets say I needed to put a 16 in the first column on one day but then on
the next day I need to put a 95 and perhaps the third day I need to put a 1
in that same column. I will need 10 colums that will allow me to enter
varying numbers in each of the columns and there might be instances when in
the first column I will have the same number as perhaps the fourth column and
also the tenth column.

I am beginning to believe that this is not as simple as I thought it might
be. Thanks for all of your help!

I think you are still missing the point of my question. When you say "I need
ten columns"... my question is not that there are 10 of them, but which 10
are they. In your first post, you said "I simply type in the numbers I need
in each column and then the numbers are "magically" added to the correct
number columns". My question is... what are the number of these 10 "correct
columns"? And, once you tell me the column numbers where you want your
numbers to finally be placed at, I also want to know if these 10 "correct
column" numbers are **always** going to be the same 10 column numbers. I'm
not asking for a the one or two columns you might fill in the first day, and
the one or two the next day... what I want to know is **all** the "correct
column" numbers that will ever be filled in by you as explained in your
first message.

I don't think this will be hard to do; but first we must understand your
setup and how you want/need to interact with it. When answering our
questions, keep in mind we know absolutely nothing about your worksheet...
specifically, we don't know how it is laid out... so you have to tell us...
don't make us guess (because we will probably guess wrong<g).

Thank you Rick for being so patient with me :0)
Lets see if I can get it right this time.....
I am picturing a spread sheet and right now I have along the left column the
list of different astrological aspects under Column A lets say "Mars square
the Sun" is the first one.

Then starting with Column B all the way through to EG I have beneath each of
these letters the numbers 1 thru 156 respectively

How I am doing it now is the old fashioned way, if I have 10 students in one
of the classrooms on the day "Mars is square the Sun" then I tab over to the
Column K which is the column that has the "10" beneath it and add another
"one" to whatever number is there from before. If also there are 35
students in another classroom I would tab over to Column AJ where the 35 is
located and I go through this routine 10 times for each of the aspects, even
to the point when someone gets up to leave I note the time and the aspect and
then add that number under the column that corresponds to the number in the
class at that time.

I want to be able to somehow make it that I don't need to tab through
sometimes all of the numbers to get to the column that I want. I want to be
able to have 10 cells that I can just tab through and when I enter the
number, then the program will realize that I am wanting to "add one more " to
the previous total. So when I have ten students and I type in the number 10
in whatever cell, it will "add one more" to the total that is existing in the
column that houses the number "10" which is in this instance Column "K".

I truly appreciate your slugging through this with me....and I am sorry that
I am being so dense.....I hope this helps you help me :0)

setup and how you want/need to interact with it. When answering our
questions, keep in mind we know absolutely nothing about your worksheet...
specifically, we don't know how it is laid out... so you have to tell us...
don't make us guess (because we will probably guess wrong<g).

Hi Rick,
I guess I am being really dense, and I apologize. I need ten columns and
each of those ten columns should be able to accept upto the numbers 156 so
that lets say I needed to put a 16 in the first column on one day but then
on
the next day I need to put a 95 and perhaps the third day I need to put a
1
in that same column. I will need 10 colums that will allow me to enter
varying numbers in each of the columns and there might be instances when
in
the first column I will have the same number as perhaps the fourth column
and
also the tenth column.

I am beginning to believe that this is not as simple as I thought it might
be. Thanks for all of your help!

Hi Rick
The number of cells will most probably stay at 10, but there is a
possibility that it will increase.
The column numbers will be chronological starting with 1 and running
through
156. I want to have to only be concerned with filling in 10 cells with
numbers that will "magically" find their ways to their respectively
numbered
column and add themselves to any other number that is there so that I
will
have a running total in each cell in this "magic" land that I can then
look
at and analyze. Thank you so much for your help!

Wow... did I ever have the wrong mental picture of your layout! Thanks for
clarifying it for me. Okay, give this a try. On the sheet where your data
is, right-click the sheet name tab at the bottom of the sheet and click on
View Code on the popup menu that appears. This will take you into the VBA
editor and place your cursor in a code window. Copy/Paste this code

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim Answer As Long
If Target.Column = 1 Then
Cancel = True
Answer = InputBox("How many students?", "Specify Number Of Students")
Target.Offset(0, Answer).Value = Target.Offset(0, Answer).Value + 1
End If
End Sub

into that code window. That's it. Go back to your worksheet and right-click
on one of the astrological aspects in Column A. You will be presented with
an InputBox asking you how many students. Type in your number, hit the enter
key (or click the OK button, your choice) and it will add one more to that
column's cell for the row of the astrological aspect you right-clicked on.

Thank you Rick for being so patient with me :0)
Lets see if I can get it right this time.....
I am picturing a spread sheet and right now I have along the left column
the
list of different astrological aspects under Column A lets say "Mars
square
the Sun" is the first one.

Then starting with Column B all the way through to EG I have beneath each
of
these letters the numbers 1 thru 156 respectively

How I am doing it now is the old fashioned way, if I have 10 students in
one
of the classrooms on the day "Mars is square the Sun" then I tab over to
the
Column K which is the column that has the "10" beneath it and add another
"one" to whatever number is there from before. If also there are 35
students in another classroom I would tab over to Column AJ where the 35
is
located and I go through this routine 10 times for each of the aspects,
even
to the point when someone gets up to leave I note the time and the aspect
and
then add that number under the column that corresponds to the number in
the
class at that time.

I want to be able to somehow make it that I don't need to tab through
sometimes all of the numbers to get to the column that I want. I want to
be
able to have 10 cells that I can just tab through and when I enter the
number, then the program will realize that I am wanting to "add one more "
to
the previous total. So when I have ten students and I type in the number
10
in whatever cell, it will "add one more" to the total that is existing in
the
column that houses the number "10" which is in this instance Column "K".

I truly appreciate your slugging through this with me....and I am sorry
that
I am being so dense.....I hope this helps you help me :0)

Use this code instead of what I posted earlier... it has some range checking
in it so that you can't accidentally put an entry outside of the grid of
data.

Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeRightClick(ByVal Target As Range, _
Cancel As Boolean)
Dim Answer As Variant
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim LastCol As Long
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
LastCol = ActiveSheet.Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
With Target
If .Column = 1 And .Row 1 And .Row <= LastRow Then
Cancel = True
Do
Answer = InputBox("How many students?", "Specify Number Of
Students")
If Answer = "" Then
Exit Do
ElseIf Answer 0 And Answer <= LastCol - 1 Then
.Offset(0, Answer).Value = .Offset(0, Answer).Value + 1
Exit Do
End If
Loop
