i am trying to create a simple data collection form in excel that will help
me tally survey results. What I would like is to have a form that I can use
to enter information in without having to scroll through columns and rowes.
Is this possible?
 
Hi!

You can do this by protecting the sheet.

First, select the entire sheet.
Goto Format>Cells>Protection tab
Check Locked
OK

Now, select the cells that you will be entering data into.
Goto Format>Cells>Protection tab
Uncheck Locked
OK

Now, goto Tools>Protection>Protect sheet
Uncheck everything except Select unlocked cells
OK

Now you can navigate to only those cells that will need data entered by
using either the tab key or the directional arrow keys.

The direction will be left to right, top to bottom.

Biff
