A cry for help with excel 2007. Been tasked with something totally better of being put in a flow chart but the boss man wants in on a excel spreadsheet.

Two burning issues, How do i freeze the panes so the LHS column and top row stay static? Can only seem to manage one or the other atm/

Second one. How do i get it to jump to a different cell when clicking on the data? Any help much appreciated

click in the cell you want to be at the top left of your scrolling page, then choose "freeze panes"

if you want to freeze to rows 3 and columns c, then leave the cursor in D4, then freeze panes.

Sounds like it... if you click in the cell as described by Stoner then do what I said, it should work perfectly.

Anymore detail on what you mean by the second one? Sounds like you're going to need to do some protecting of the sheet.

Cheers guys sorted the "freeze" issue..

What i want to happen if I click on a cell it will jump to another Sheet but a specific cell on that sheet. If you can imagine a flow chart where the cell you click on is the final result it needs to jump to a cell with a final action to carry out.

Crap idea I know, but the boss won't be swayed.

Use Hyperlinks.

As above, or "Freeze Panes" is in the View menu.

To jump to another cell, you need to create a bookmark in the second (target) cell, then create a hyperlink referencing that bookmark in the first (home) cell. Excel 07 can do it all in one go, in your home cell, right click and select.Hyperlink, then click on "Place in this document", select your target cell and define the text for your Home cell, then click okay and Bob's a good ol' mate of your dad.

You need to insert a hyperlink by right clicking on the cell that you want to click on and select 'Hyperlink'.

Then select from the menu on the left 'Place in This Document', it will then give you the option of inputting the cell reference you want the hyperlink to go to (i.e. A1), below this it will tehn give you the option of which sheet this cell is on.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Too Slow ^^^^

on the 'Insert' tab is a section called hyperlinks... click on it a small window opens on the left hand side is a section of where you want to link to... 'this document'...
