    Stop scrolling

    Hi everyone and thanks in advance for the help.

    I've a spreadsheet that we use like a data entry screen. I need to disable the left-right scrolling to prevent the users from using the wrong items in columns starting from AA. We still need to scroll up and down though.

    Prehaps this change event

    To add code right click the sheet then select View code and paste the below code. Change sheet name to your change name

    Sorry but the code:

    PLEASE ALWAYS WRAP CODE

    didn't work. I can still scroll past column AA. The data entry area starts in col A and the formula calculation area starts in col AA. Both looks the same. Although I've locked my cells and users can only access the unlocked cells where they enter the data, there are users that scrolls to col AA and they would then complain that they can't enter their data. Therefore my need to disable the scrolling.

    How about hiding all columns from AA outward?

    If you want to prevent incorrect entry, why not Protect the sheet, and disallow users from selecting protected cells?

    The cells are all locked and protected except for the entry cells. For some reason, the users always go to col AA even though they were told not to. Anyway hiding the columns worked perfectly. Thanks.
