When all the cells are completed, click a cell outside the named range, to deselect the range. Press the Tab key, or the Enter key, to move to the next cell. With the named range selected, type in the active cell. Click on the name that you created – Grades. At the right of the Name box, click the drop-down arrow. Now, when you want to enter information into these cells, you can select the named range, and tab through the cells. Type a one-word name for this group of cells – Grades in this example. Where A1 represents the active cell in the selection when the rule was defined. In the example shown, the custom formula used to set up conditional formatting is: CELL('PROTECT', A1) 0. Next, you’ll create a name for the selected cells. To highlight unprotected cells (cells that are unlocked) with conditional formatting, you can use a formula based on the CELL function. Depending on the length of the sheet name, you’ll probably be able to include 10-15 cells in the named range. Note: In Excel 2003 and earlier versions, you’re limited to 255 characters in the named range formula. Later, when we use this range, we’ll automatically start in cell C3. Finally, select the first cell in the sequence – cell C3 in this example.īecause cell C3 was selected last, it becomes the active cell in the range. Then, hold the Ctrl key and select the next cell, then the next, until the remaining cells, 3 to 7, are selected. In this example, we’ll select cell C4, where the student’s grade level will be entered. First, select the second cell in which you want to enter data. In this example, we have a report card, and the cells are numbered, to show the data entry order. To set up this technique, you will create a named range. Here is a technique that lets you jump to the next data entry cell in Excel, without any macros. You’d like a quick and easy way to move through the cells, in a specific order. By default, Excel selects the Protect Worksheet and Contents of Locked. Excel opens the Protect Sheet dialog box in which you select the options you want to be available when the worksheet protection is enabled. Children building toys… not men designing machines, sadly.If you’re filling in a form, the data entry cells might be scattered throughout the worksheet. Follow these steps to protect cells in the worksheet: Click the Protect Sheet command button in the Changes group on the Review tab. The computer industry today - short voice activation, which is the real goal - has more interfaces to what should be a STANDARD MECHANICAL DEVICE than the automotive industry ever came up with in more than 200 years of development. Going back & forth is the real issue because people develop a natural kinesthetic reflex response to the keyboard they have, the smartphone they have, etc. HIGHLIGHT LOCKED CELLS EXCEL 2007 FREE
My dad (to whom I provide endless free computer tech support) has the short keyboard. The maddening thing… is that you have to use different keyboard sequences depending on the keyboard you have. However, most computer professionals use the standard wide-QWERTY keyboard with attached number pad that has paging function buttons (page up, page down, arrow, etc.) Unfortunately, on most iMac models they ship (by default) the shorter office keyboard.
Actually… what you can do ALSO depends on which Apple keyboard you are using.
