Welcome to an advanced Excel tutorial where we will show you an excellent way to go to cell editing mode with a single mouse click. There are three basic ways to activate cell editing mode in Microsoft Excel: double-clicking, clicking on the formula bar, and using the keyboard shortcut F2. However, in this tutorial, we will introduce a new way for you to click on a cell and automatically activate editing mode with a single click.

To achieve this, we will use VBA. First, we will right-click on the Sheet1 tab and click on “View Code” to enter the Visual Basic Editor. We will then write the code or check the link in the description for the code. Once we have completed writing the code, we will close the VBE, and we’re done.

Now, if we click anywhere with a single mouse click, we can go to the editing mode. This is an additional feature that provides a fourth way to go to the cell editing mode. So, from now on, you will have four ways to activate cell editing mode.

By using the method shown in this tutorial, you won’t need to double-click, click on the formula bar, or use the keyboard shortcut F2. You will just need to click on the cell, and it will automatically activate editing mode.

We hope you find this tutorial helpful. Thank you for watching, and see you in the next tutorial.
