Is there a way to run a macro that leaves the cell in an editing mode? I have to enter alot of data but it all has the same prefix, specifically "Ø", which is a keystroke of Alt+0216. I recorded a macro to enter the keystroke, but then I have to hit F2 or use the mouse to put the cell into edit mode and edit in the rest of the data. I'm just trying to reduce it to as few keystrokes as possible.

Thanks, Dave

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.

I'm assuming that

Application.SendKeys "{F2}"

would work

Hi,

Using SendKeys Statement you can write a following line<Pre>SendKeys "{F2}"</Pre>
