Keyboard Shortcut for first Non Zero cell
Hello,
I have to navigate in a large data set and all of the cells have formulas.
I am wondering if there is a key board shortcut to find the first cell, of the row I am on, that is non zero? Control right arrow will not work.
thank you
Make sure that you display the Developer tab of the ribbon.
On this tab, click Macros.
Enter FindNonZero in the Macro Name box, and click Create.
Make the code look like this:
Sub FindNonZero() Dim i As Long For i = 1 To 10000 If ActiveCell.Offset(0, i).Value <> 0 Then ActiveCell.Offset(0, i).Select Exit For End If Next i End SubWitch back to Excel.
Click Macros again.
Select FindNonZero and click Options...
Click in the Shortcut key box.
You can either enter a character or Shift+character. As a result you will assign Ctrl+character or Ctrl+Shift+character as shortcut. Try to avoid built-in shortcuts such ax Ctrl+C and Ctrl+S.
Click OK.
Save the workbook as a macro-enabled workbook.
Make sure that you allow macros when you open it.

- thank you Hans. I was hoping for a keyboard shortcut. I am on a work computer and can not save macro enabled files unfortunately. I will keep the question open in case someone is aware of a key board shortcut.
Don't hold your breath - Excel does not have a built-in shortcut for this.
