I have a spreadsheet in excel with some vba code that makes a note show up when I navigate the cursor to the cell and turn off when I navigate the cursor away.
However, the note still shows up when the mouse is hovering over the cell, which I want to prevent.
Is there a way to disable this mouseover functionality without disabling the note feature entirely?

I'm trying to alter the behaviour of Excel when you press the enter button using VBA as most of the time I require it to jump to the next cell after you have entered information.
However, when I reach the bottom of my spreadsheet I want to prevent it jumping back to the top and remain in the current cell. I then want to turn back on the ability for it to jump down when you move back up the document or go to a new tab.
I believe I can manage the on/off element by using the ON SELECTION and ON CHANGE functions within VBA, but I'm struggling to source the right code to change the after ENTER behaviour.
TIA
In my excel document I want the button to appear no matter how far I scroll down. I don't know if there is a way to pin the button so that when I scroll down the button still appears. I dont want to scroll up all the way up to click the button. I added a photo if that makes things clearer.
I would suggest creating a custom tab on the ribbon with the macro you want to run. Unfortunately, there is not a way to pin a button in place, unless you use a userform per Tim Williams suggestion. I created a custom ribbon tab to get around this hassle.
I am new to excel and every time I try to edit text in excel by double clicking the cell or press the back space button when I make an error it just deletes the whole thing and I need to retype everything.
I was wondering if there was any way to turn this off.
Thanks in advance!
To the best of my knowledge, there no way to turn this off. When you want to edit text in a cell, you need to first select the cell by single clicking on it. Any contents in the cell will display in the formula bar located above the spreadsheet. Click anywhere you need to in the formula bar to edit text. If you delete or backspace on the cell accidentally, you can CTRL+z to undo.
If you do not see the formula bar, click on View tab in the menu ribbon and make sure the Formula Bar option is checked.
I am looking for the keyboard shortcut to edit a formula in the formula edit field. I am not looking for similar functionality such as F2, which allows you to edit the formula, but only with the cursor in the cell you are working on.
Put another way, I am looking to move my cursor to the field to the right of the "fx" (function sign + "x") field that is just below the ribbon so I can edit a formula in Excel and have it behave the way I want.
I know many will ask why. The main reason I want to do this is when formulas get long they wrap (which is difficult to follow) and/or cover up adjacent cells (which makes modeling more difficult). I don't want to change the wrapping behavior etc. because I actually use it (it is helpful) in some cases.
I do not want a solution that involves a macro because I want this to work on any computer I am working on.
Been Excel'ing for a long time and this is one of the few things I have to go to the mouse for and it slows me down.
EDIT: also can't lose the reference color coded highlighting. F2 then Ctrl + A gets the cursor up there in the formula bar, but the wrapping in the cell stays (bad) and the color coded reference highlighting goes away (bad).
I found a way but you may or may not like it.
In Excel older than 2007 do the following and then use F2:
From the Tools menu, choose Options.
Click the Edit tab.
Uncheck the Edit Directly In Cell option in the Settings area.
Click OK
In Excel 2007 and newer do the following and then use F2:
Click the Office button and then click Excel Options (at the bottom
right).
Select Advanced in the left pane.
Uncheck the Allow Editing Directly In Cell option.
Click OK.
Giving credit where credit is due I found this on the below site by simply googling "excel keyboard shortcuts formula bar"

I have an Listbox Multiselect ActiveX control in a Sheet with Freeze Panes. The problem is that when I try to select items the mouseover icon is the standard excel cross instead of the arrow. I know that this question was asked before, but I didn't find any answer.
Thank u in advanced for help
I tested, and I came up with a few interesting observations.
In the ribbon, go to the developer tab. Make sure that the Design
Mode is not on.
When I first froze panes on the sheet, the freeze line went through the listbox I created. This caused the behavior you are describing with the cross-hairs and being unable to select.
Then I moved the listbox. Still same problem. I tried clicking on various cells around the sheet and in the ribbon area, with no change in behavior.
When I clicked to another sheet and back again, it started working as expected. Normal pointer mouse. I could select multiple, and unselect as needed.
Based on what I've tried, it seems that making sure Design Mode is off, and clicking to another sheet and back again may fix the problem.
