excel 2007
How can you jump back to the same cell after jumping around? I want to mark a cell then after scrolling around I want to return to it, I dont want to use reference or name the cell, this is an every day process. |

My first two thoughts are to either:
{F5} Goto & just type in the cell reference or Create a hyperlink somewhere in the sheet that refers to the cell you wish to "jump" to.

If the cell is active and you're scrolling around but not clicking on
any other cells, pressing one of the arrow keys will select an adjacent cell and display it.

thanks guys ,,, that helps, but I will do some monkey around before returnig
to my cell. so, we need a way to tag the cell (hot key or mouse) ,monkey around ,hotkey(to go back to it)....people familiar with developing can see how important is this featu be able to back track your step(no undo) , as the undo key (the miracle feature) "raulavi" wrote: excel 2007 How can you jump back to the same cell after jumping around?

Maybe a couple of macros you could assign hotkeys to or assign to a button?
Before you start jumping run startfrom macro. Sub startfrom() Set currentSelection = Application.ActiveCell currentSelection.Name = "startcell" End Sub Do your monkeying around then run gobackto macro Sub gobackto() Range("startcell").Select End Sub Note.........running these will clear the undo stack so make sure it is worth it.

So what you want is the ability to bookmark cells. Gord's suggestion
might work. Otherwise, I'd write down the cell(s) in question and use GoTo to find them. As an alternative, if there is an empty cell near the cell you want to "bookmark," enter a unique string in that and use Find to go to it. At least it gets you in the neighborhood. :) Mark Lincoln On Sep 6, 6:00 pm, raulavi wrote: thanks guys ,,, that helps, but I will do some monkey around before returnig to my cell. so, we need a way to tag the cell (hot key or mouse) ,monkey around ,hotkey(to go back to it)....people familiar with developing can see how important is this featu be able to back track your step(no undo) , as the undo key (the miracle feature) "raulavi" wrote: excel 2007 How can you jump back to the same cell after jumping around?

Good suggestion and a nice work around. sometimes I can, other times I forgot
my link back tag and removed those tags after few days...when I found them. ooopsss! "Mark Lincoln" wrote: So what you want is the ability to bookmark cells. Gord's suggestion might work.

If you don't have a lot of cells to keep track of, you could use the
same string for each. You may need to click Find Next a few times, but you'll eventually get to your intended destination. When you're done wandering around the workbook, use Find/Replace to remove the string from all the cells at once. If you use the same string in all cases, you should easily remember it from workbook to workbook.

thanks Mark, I got that working well, (i will try the macro thing)...will be
nice feature to have back track steps without many key strokes tho. "Mark Lincoln" wrote: If you don't have a lot of cells to keep track of, you could use the same string for each.

If you've changed sheets or workbooks, then that code will have trouble.
Change to the correct workbook (if you need to), then try this code: Option Explicit Sub gobackTOcell() On Error Resume Next Application.Goto "startcell" If Err.Number < 0 Then Beep Err.Clear End If On Error GoTo 0 End Sub raulavi wrote: Am i missing too much? this is my 1st macro... knowing this ...

If you don't want to name a range, Excel internally stores up to 4 previous
GoTo's. Prior to Excel 2007, I had a toolbar button that ran the following. Hit F5 to "GoTo" another area. Then I'd click a toolbar button to go back. Sub GoBack1() Application.PreviousSelections(1).Select End Sub -- HTH :) Dana DeLouis I really hate Excel 2007. "Dave Peterson" wrote in message ...
