I have excel sheet in which it has lot of data entries but to complete that sheet i need to add values between columns (in the middle)

I have scanner to scan those values and i set my cursor to move right

What i want:

I want that when i scan first value in row E column1 cursor jumps to row F column1 the. Row G column 1 but after that i want that cursor doesn't go to Row E column 1 it should move to again Row E column2 then Row F column 2 then Row G column3

And then so on .....

Please anybody can help me on that

Hi Mandeep,

First  I  think  you are referring to rows as  columns  and to columns  as  rows (row E,   row  F are columns not rows), that  makes it difficult to understand.

In  order  to make the cursor jump   to the  next cell you want, select ALL CELLS  that should receive values from scanner, right Click>Format  Cells, then in protection  tab you have to clear the Locked checkbox.

Then, from Review tab  in ribbon, Protect the sheet with  the option to Select Only UNLOCKED cells.  This way, the cursor will move only in the  ranges you have unlocked, in the order  set  by the  excel  option  to "Move  Right"  or "Move Down"
