Hi guys,
I am an intern at a company and am using a lot of Excel for the first time. My boss suggested this website, so I hope you guys can help me out. I need to make a scroll bar to scroll within one cell. I am assuming the cells above and below the chosen cell would be frozen. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off

Hi Questions, I'm just wondering what kind of info you have in the cells that it would need a scrollbar for and how many cells would you need to build this in to? I believe it could be done but it would be very complex, especially if you're new to Excel. A potentially easier solution would be to make the cells larger and turn word wrap on. Even a Userform might be a better way to go if you have a lot of text in each cell.

My first thought would be to place a texbox in the cell, set MultiLine=True, WordWrap=True, EnterKeyBehavior=True, ScrollBars=fmScrollBarsVertical. Size the textbox to the same dimensions as the cell. See the download for an example...
