    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    What do you mean by 'any cell assigned in the formula'. You really need to tell us what formula you will be entering and which cell (if the formula mentions more than one cell or perhaps a range) the cursor should jump to.

    You need to use VBA for that. Using formula this is impossible.

    Re: how to jump into a specific cell

    Just to get more clarity here...you want a formula (or something) in A1, and then you want to type something else in A1, and have the cursor go to another, predefined location?
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    Re: how to jump into a specific cell

    I suppose you will need to use VBA to archieve this.
    Example:
    In Worksheet1, cell A5, after typing something and hit enter or hit any arrow key, you want to go to Cell G5 in Worksheet1, you need to do like this:
    Open VBA editor by pressing combo key Alt+F11 (i suppose you have already known this).
    One the left handside, double click the Sheet1, on the right handside, you paste this code:

    p/s: You will need to change the red and bold part above to suit your need.

    No worries.. Helping others is to help myself to memorize things that I hardly use. Why don't you hit "Add Reputation" button instead of saying "thank you" hehe.. Just 4 fun.. "Salamat"
