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!

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
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...
