Hi

I'm new to using this forum and only dabble in VBA so my apologies if I make mistakes in my attempt to get the information I require.

I want the Left Arrow key press to be ignored if the active cell is in column one. Without it being ignored the active cell now moves up one row and to the furthest available cell to the right.

I would like the code that would do the perform as follows:


"If column is column one and the left arrow key has been pressed then column one stays as column one and row number remains the same."

I hope there is someone who can see what I am trying to do and can help me.

Thasnks

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
One way to deal with your problem

Code goes in SHEET module
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    With Application
       If Target.Column = 1 Then .OnKey "{LEFT}", "" Else .OnKey "{LEFT}"
    End With
End Sub

Detecting a Left Arrow press occurring in a worksheet is more complicated than temporarily disabling it
(but it is easy to detect inside userform objects)
