Multiple column scroll
 
I have researched for 2 days but cannot locate a solution. I have a spreadsheet where I have frozen the first 2 columns and the first two rows. To the right are columns of data in pairs. 2 columns represent 1 day and data is entered across both columns. We are having trouble with multiple users entering data across the wrong 2 columns and splitting days. I want to be able to use the scroll bar and have the spreadsheet advance 2 columns instead of the standard 1 to keep the days in pairs. I am at a loss.

Multiple column scroll
 
Just a thought

Have you considered color-coding each pair of columns, thus indicating
to the user that they represent the same grouping.

You can scroll left/right one screen at a time using PgUp/PgDn while
holding down the *Alt* key. (PgUp=left; PgDn=right)

Yes, I have thought if exactly that, color coding, as well as adding a small grayed-out column for separation. I even deleted the scroll bar and set up the tab button to page across, which should work depending on resolution settings. I think resolution can be controlled by commonizing the tablets used for data entry. However, I am told there is a way to set it up for the scroll bar to advance 2 columns instead of the default 1. I'm puzzled. I don't give up easily but I'm throwing in the towel. Thanks anyway!!!

Why not just ask whomever told you this to explain how to do it?

Ha! He only says he "knows" there is a solution, but he has no idea what it is.
