Shortcut To Formula Bar
While many, if not most, users have the "Edit directly in cell" option turned on, and press F2 to edit the contents of a cell, some users still prefer to edit within the formula bar. If "Edit directly in cell" (Tools menu, Options, Edit tab, "Edit directly in cell") is UNchecked, pressing F2 will set the input focus to the formula bar, as expected. However, if "Edit directly in cell" is checked, and you need or want to edit within the formula bar, there is no built-in shortcut key to take you to the Formula bar -- you must use the mouse. The following macro will set the focus to the formula bar. You can then assign a keyboard shortcut to run this macro, thus giving you a keyboard shortcut to the formula bar. |
