Suppose I have a worksheet with 5 columns by 3 rows ( The number of rows and
columns to use). Can the cursor be configured to move to the next row
automatically once the last row of the immediate column has an entered value?

Select the data-entry rectangle of interest. Use the tab key to enter
values. The cursor will "wrap" within the highlighted area.

You can also set the cursor to move to the right after hitting enter,
if it currently moves downward.

Hi Hilberg, thanks for your feedback. Can the "wrap" be set like a rule, so
that it could not be disturbed by mouse click or function key.

You could consider using VBA, more specifically, a SelectionChange Event.
That traps where the cursor is going.

A couple of methods.

Start in A1 and Tab your way across to E1.

ENTER key out of E1 and go to A2.

Method 2.................

Select the cells and Format>Cells>Protection

Unlock these cells then protect the worksheet with "select locked cells"
disabled.

You can move only across using the Tab key oir ENTER key if set to move right.

When you get to column E and hit Tab or ENTER you will go to A2.
