Hi, I need to automatically move down after each time I use the barcode scanner, I need to do this by VBA.
IT department has nothing to do with the device.

For example, my selected cell is A1, I need to automatically move to A2 after scanning the item.

Thanks you
 

Excel Facts

What is the last column in Excel?
Excel columns run from A to Z, AA to AZ, AAA to XFD. The last column is XFD.
I wonder how a scanner can access Excel on your device.
If it is an Android device, you won't have VBA in Excel for Android.

How do you get a value from barcode scanner to a cell in Excel?

It's not android, it's windows, and I just plug an usb scanner to my laptop with opened excel file to use it.

Usually that setting has to be programmed into the scanner itself. Most barcode scanners will come with a sheet of barcodes to scan for programming. Check your users manual.

Try this code on your worksheet.
VBA Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
    Dim ActiveBarCodeScan As Boolean, BarCodeColumn As String
    
    ActiveBarCodeScanEvents = True   '<-- Change to false to disable feature.
    BarCodeColumn = "A"              '<-- Change this to you barcode column.
    
    If Split(ActiveCell.Address, "$")(1) = BarCodeColumn Then
        If Trim(ActiveCell.Value) <> "" And ActiveBarCodeScanEvents = True Then
            Range(Split(ActiveCell.Address, "$")(1) & Split(ActiveCell.Address, "$")(2) + 1).Select
        End If
    End If
End Sub

            Range(Split(ActiveCell.Address, "$")(1) & Split(ActiveCell.Address, "$")(2) + 1).Select
        End If
    End If
End Sub
This seemed fine, Thank you Trixterz and everybody for your help.
