    Transfer cell information into a new free cell and clean after pressing enter

    First of all I want to say HELLO to everyone. This forum is a great place and you guys are amazing.

    Could you please help me to find a solution to a strange task.
    I would like to make a workbook with a couple of sheets.
    The most important data for me will be on the sheet 1.
    Is it possible to have 3 cells in sheet 1 and to use them just to insert data (numbers), but after pressing enter i need this data to be transferred into sheet 2, or 3 or 4, and cell to be clear again and ready for a new number.

    I hope i could explain it well so you can understand me.

    Thank you very very much!!!

    Yes, this is within the realm of Excel. It will have to be completed using VBA. If you post a copy of your workbook with before and after examples, I am sure that one of our outstanding volunteer members will have a solution for you.

    Thank you very very very very much.
    I desparately need this workbook. It's so important for me and the job i want to do.

    Actually I still don't have a workbook, because i don't know how to start it.
    It's going to be something like this:workbook.xlsx
    But what i need to do is , USING ONLY EXCEL 2003:
    - cells B2:G5 to remain always empty and when I insert number inside and press Enter to do 2:
    1) H2:H5 to calculate respectively "=B2-C2+D2-E2-F2-G2"; "=B3-C3-E3-F3-G3+D3"; etc... but taking in consideration all the numbers inserted in cells B2:G5, accumulating them
    2) B6:G6 to sum all the above cells, but again taking in consideration all the numbers inserted before

    Once again -THANK YOU!!!!

    There is something that i don't understand..

    In H2 you have this formula.

    =B2-C2+D2-E2-F2-G2

    Why does not this formula works ok? Can you explain a little more pls?
    Regards

    well the formula works OK, but it's not what i want to do.
    what i need is to keep cells B2:G5 to always empty and when I insert number inside and press Enter this number to goes somewhere else , to sum to the other numbers transferred there from the same cell, and then calculate H2 taking in consideration all the numbers inserted in cells before till this moment
    Maybe I can't explain well

    Re: Transfer cell information into a new free cell and clean after pressing enter

    Hi Juliangun4ev,

    I´ve checked on your example and it can be done, Not sure if within the boundaries of formulas & functions but within macros most certainly. Thing is, without final example how the file should look like is kinda hard to figure out because of few reasons:

    1) dunno the structure where in the following sheets you want the results
    2) cant decide like this where to use absolute reference and where relative
    3) there will be quite a lot of global variables to achieve what you´re looking for, So one might wanna ask if its necessary to clear the field straight after pushing enter button, if it werent better to make a button to clear the selection or make something else to clear the range ... would clear those global variables of the table and the file would be much faster and less messy, also it might bring up the file back to formulas&functions boundaries

    I´d suggest you to make more precise example, cause like this It´s immense heap of work to catch all the possibilies and to give you some code to execute what you want....which i feel like is not necessary

    EDIT: OR, just realized, you might need to use one trick I´m using (calling it myself mirroring) which is making a worksheet containing all the background dirty work hidden from the users, where you´d be keepin all those inputs whilst frontpage remains empty and clear, which would be somewhat halfway between what you´ve said above and what you´ve described as desired outcome....but still would appreciate more precise example
