HI all

I use excel for a staff rota.

The dates are from D4 across to FF4 or whatever D4 plus 365 is......but it is a long way to scroll across!
Columns AB&C are for names, information etc....these don't scroll as they are frozen(freeze panes)

I was wondering this:

I would like to enter a date, in say Cell A1, and the spreadsheet scrolls across to that date and be next to column C?

Hope that makes sense!!!
 
Hi Simon,

In order to do that we need to introduce lngToday:

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim lngMatch            As Long
    Dim lngToday            As Long


    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A1")) Is Nothing Then
        On Error Resume Next
            lngMatch = Application.Match(Range("$A$1"), Rows(4), 0)
            lngToday = Application.Match(CLng(Date), Rows(4), 0)
        On Error GoTo 0
        If lngMatch > 0 Then
            ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = Cells(4, lngMatch).Column
        ElseIf lngToday > 0 Then
            ActiveWindow.ScrollColumn = Cells(4, lngToday).Column
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Same as previously, remember that this is a Change Event, meaning that cell A1 needs to be changed in order to be activated (e.g. select it and press delete).

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
