Excel VBA Intro Intermediate course
How can you change it so that when you hit return/enter in an excel sheet it moves across (across columns) istead of down (down rows)
Hi Jen
You can do this by going to Tools-Options, and then selecting the edit tab.
Here there is a drop down that lets you choose which cell is selected after you press enter

If you are working with or creating named ranges in your spreadsheets, then you may find the following shortcut keys useful.
- Bring up the Define Names dialogue box on screen by using Ctrl + F3 (instead of going to Insert - Names).
- Create Names from labels you have entered into the spreadsheet by highlighting the labels and related figures, then hold down Shift + Ctrl + F3. You can then choose to create names from the top or bottom rows, or left or right columns.
- Go directly to a named range by hitting the F5 key. The Go To dialogue box will open and display any named ranges in the spreadsheet. Simply select the named range to navigate to it in the spreadsheet.
