    Click on a cell and a table appears?

    I am still trying to develop an excel page where when I click on a particular cell, a box or preferably a table appears in a pop up fashion containing more detail than what would normally fit inside a cell.

    I can’t use the comment box function, as this document will be used by the whole office and require regular and speedy updating, such as inputting meeting times and important events.

    An ideal situation would be where when a cell such as A1 is clicked on; a table appears next to it, containing columns such as Date Event Time Client. That disappears when clicked off, so that A1 B1 is all that is seen.

    Is this possible, preferably without the use of a macro, as I am a beginner?

    It would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Omar

    Hi Omar,

    Without macros definitely not, and even with it's going to mean getting your hands dirty with worksheet events, userforms and various other non-novice type things.

    Probably not what you wanted to hear.

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    PLEASE PM WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THIS AND I WILL DELETE THIS POST
