MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / November 2007Required information in a cell
Hi I'm not sure if this possible, but is there a way to format some cells so that they have to have information put in them. I know it's possible in Access, but when tabbing along a row I want to be able have the cursor not move out of the cell until information has been input TIA Steve One way. Modify to suit Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) If Target.Column = 3 Then If Target.Offset(, -1) = "" Then Target.Offset(, -1).Select MsgBox "Pleae fill in" Else Target.Offset(, 1).Select End If End If End Sub  SignatureDon Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software dguillett1@austin.rr.com > Hi > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > TIA > Steve > One way.

Right click sheet tab>view code>copy/paste my code>play with it to see what it is doing and then add other if's. You didn't give a lot of detail in your original request. What I said was if you made a change to a cell in col C and the cell immediately to the left was blank, go back to the the blank cell and fill in before proceeding. Else, proceed to the cell just to the right for the next entry. Play with it. SignatureDon Guillett Microsoft MVP Excel SalesAid Software dguillett1@austin.rr.com >> One way.

There is Data Validation in excel, but it only enforces data integrity of the cell and does not force data to be entered. Joel |
