i don't know if this is the right place to ask for help but maybe you can help me. I've been tasked with finding out where all our tech hardware is and make an inventory sheet using excel 2013. I have a scanner to scan the bar codes so it can add the serial number automatically to my excel shee, but my problem is that everytime i scan a barcode it goes to the next bottom cell instead of the cell to the right. Scanning is tedious because before scanning i have to choose a cell, then scan the bar code which fills the chosen cell but then right after scanning it goes to the next bottom cell instead of the cell to the right where i have to manually imput an asset tag number. any way i can change that in excel or do you know of any inventory sofware that can help me accomplish what i need to do? I just want to scan the bar code and automatically go to the cell to the right and not the bottom. thanks renan

I have a list of names in Column A and a list of telephone numbers in Column B. The are both on the same spreadsheet "NAMES & NUMBERS". On a different spreadsheet, within the same workbook, I would like to have a drop down where I can choose the name in A1 and it will automatically populate A2 with the corresponding telephone number for that particular person. I have searched for 2 hours on the web trying to find out how to do this. Please help!

I cannot figure this step out and need help please. Step 1: At this point, a smaller list of countries should be visible in the worksheet “Internet user and pop. Table”. Cross reference these countries with the list of tech ready countries in the “Tech Readiness 2016” and highlight in the “Internet user and pop. Table” worksheet the country or countries that are in both lists. You may choose any shade of orange as the highlighting color. Cross reference them using conditional formatting.

Currently the formula calculates 0 hours for RDO (this is correct), I just need 8 hours for RDO and HOLIDAYS - the formula is in H80
