    Question Get cursor to automatically move to a certain cell based on drop-down menu selection

    I am a very basic excel user. I know nothing about writing codes.

    I'm trying to make life a little easier when inputting contact data each semester. In the attached form, I created a drop-down list in the "Type of Contact #" column. The options are "cell" or "home". Is there a way to make the cursor, based on the drop down item selected, automatically go to the "Cell #" or "Home #" cell in that row so I can immediately start typing the number in that row?

    How to install Worksheet Event Handlers
    Worksheet event handlers must be installed in the module of a specific sheet:
    How to install your new code
    1. Copy the Excel VBA code
    2. Select the worksheet in which you want the VBA macro to run
      a) If the Visual Basic Editor is not open, right click the sheet tab and select "View Code"
      b) If the VBE is already opened, double click the desired sheet in the project pane.
    3. Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
    4. Choose Insert > Module
    5. Edit > Paste the macro into the module that appeared
    6. Close the VBEditor
    7. Save your workbook (Excel 2007+ select a macro-enabled file format, like *.xlsm)
